Good food hygiene is an important practice that we need to observe to ensure our food is safe for consumption, without this healthy practice, harmful germs that cause food poisoning can spread very easily during food preparation process, it is their for our full responsibility to keep the food that we and our loved ones it very clean and safe during and after preparation on a daily basis. The increasing number of food poisoning outbreak sand food-related scares has led to calls for better hygiene and quality practices. Food poisoning outbreaks are due to the inadequate time and temperature control of food. Poor sanitary practices in food storage, handling, and preparation can create an environment which bacteria such as campylobacters, salmonella, and other infectious agents are more easily transmitted. The spread of diseases through food is still a common problem which results in appreciable morbidity and occasional mortality. Food handlers play an important role in ensuring food safety throughout the chain of production, processing, storage and preparation. This article explores the evidence base of knowledge regarding the food hygiene among the mothers of nursing students. The result of the study shows that the majority of nursing student’s mothers 69 (69%) had adequate knowledge, 21 (21%) had excellent knowledge and 10 (10%) had inadequate knowledge regarding food hygiene. The result of structured knowledge questionnaire will classify nursing student’s mother in good, average, poor knowledge categories. Mothers of nursing students having adequate knowledge would continue with health promotive behaviour whereas the mothers of nursing students having inadequate knowledge have to improve their health related knowledge.
