Abstract

Salmonella remains one of the most significant foodborne pathogens globally, responsible for substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Inadequate food handling practices across the food supply chain—spanning production, processing, distribution, retail, and household levels significantly contribute to Salmonella contamination and transmission. This study examines the impact of critical food handling practices, including personal hygiene, cross-contamination prevention, temperature control, sanitation, and food storage, on the prevention and control of Salmonella infections. A comprehensive review of recent literature identifies high-risk behaviors, gaps in food safety compliance, and effective intervention strategies. Findings highlight that proper hand hygiene, effective heat treatment, prevention of cross-contamination, and adherence to HACCP-based food safety systems considerably reduce Salmonella prevalence. The study emphasizes the need for continuous education, stricter policy enforcement, and integrated risk-management frameworks to strengthen food safety practices. This paper provides actionable recommendations for food handlers, policymakers, and public health authorities aimed at minimizing Salmonella outbreaks and enhancing overall food safety.
