Food hygiene is known as the measures taken and the methods applied to ensure the safety of food from production to consumption. Hygiene should come first among the most important features that consumers should look for in the foods they supply from outside. Contaminated products are at the root of most human infectious diseases in developing countries. These emerging diseases put serious pressure on health systems. These problems are prevented by hygiene control. Hygiene control is; from food to food contaminated, from equipment to food contaminated, from operator to food contaminated and in other ways contaminated. In the scientific researches and survey studies, it has been seen that the hygiene knowledge of the employees in food is at a moderate level. With this compilation study, the importance of hygiene, hygiene control, food hygiene and safety knowledge, as well as the attitude after the education in hygiene were emphasized.
