“SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOD SATISFACTION IN SCHOOL CANTEEN”

Background of the Problem

A canteen is a place where food is served and eaten and where the different snack and
drink products are sold. A school utilizes a canteen to meet the food and nutritional
needs of its students so they have the energy to accomplish the tasks that they have for
the day.

The Department of Education is strongly committed to supporting students' health and

well-being through its curriculum in schools and a range of initiatives that offer
opportunities for physically fit individuals who love eating healthy food. All canteens
have the responsibility to provide safe food. Safe food means that it is prepared,
cooked, transported, and served in a way that will retain nutrients and minimize
bacterial contamination and growth.

Handling food poorly can also reduce the quality of the food being served. With this
information, there is a need to look into such practices for their effective and efficient
functioning, as well as the services being offered in distributing the foods to learners
as customers. Therefore, to determine the safety of the food being served in school
canteens, one should know everything about food safety and hygiene. Canteens have a
responsibility to provide safe food.
