In recent years, consumer awareness of food safety has been increasing, and food workers with professional food safety knowledge, attitude, and practical implementation are essential for maintaining the quality of food as well as preventing foodborne diseases. This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude, and implementation of food safety practices among employees in a food company in Taiwan. The employees were both who had received food safety knowledge and training and had yet to receive it. Data collection was carried out through 68 questionnaires, and analysis methods, including descriptive statistical analysis and multiple regression analysis, have performed. Before the first stage of education and training, 100% of the employees knew that food factories must conduct regular water quality testing. Still, the error rate for personal hygiene and safety was the highest. The second part has the highest average food safety attitude and the concept of food preservation. The third part of personnel behavior was to avoid cross-contamination. After the second stage of education and training of personnel in food safety knowledge, the attitude and behavior have been greatly improved. The findings of this study can be used as a reference for food suppliers to develop employee education and training.
