This section explores the changes in food safety practices among recent Chinese
immigrants in Canada. Funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) (2009-2010),
this section focuses on food safety practices in grocery shopping, food preparation/
cooking, food storage, and eating in restaurants. Based on data from a small-scale survey
and two focus groups with recent Chinese immigrants in the Greater Toronto Area, as well
as individual interviews with a community worker and two public health professionals, this
section highlights the challenges and educational needs of newcomers along with the
knowledge gaps among the newcomers and public health professionals, community
health educators and workers.
