Abstract: Food safety training comes in a variety of formats. For food professionals, those employed in food production, retail food, and foodservice, it may begin with high school classes dedicated to food science, but it undoubtedly includes college courses in food science, food technology, and food engineering. Following that, professional organizations, institutions, and firms that provide services to the food sector provide continuing education courses, conferences, seminars, webinars, and symposia on food safety. This resulted in the conduct of a study to determine the perceived effectiveness of the Food Safety and Hygiene Academy of the Philippines (FoodSHAP) Training to Food Service Businesses owned by De La Salle University-Dasmarias students and alumni amidst the pandemic. The study sought to ascertain the effectiveness of given lessons, assessments, and training among Hospitality Management students and alumni, as well as their application to their current food company operations. The researchers gathered data from 80 respondents using an online survey. The findings indicate that there is a positive correlation between food cleanliness, hygiene methods, and food safety concerns. The findings indicate that food safety education has a significant influence on the level of knowledge acquired by hospitality professionals and practitioners.
