  • A scoping review on the food safety concerns of takeaways in deprived neighbourhoods in the UK   Order a copy of this article
    by Cataria Davis, Patience Ebuwei, Nurudeen Adesina 
    Abstract: The increase in takeaways in socially deprived neighbourhoods across the UK is a growing food safety concern due to poor food hygiene ratings and relaxed food safety standards. This review aimed to scope the literature that addresses the food safety concerns of takeaways in deprived areas of the UK. Four databases were searched according to the search strategy developed a priori. Eight relevant articles were identified and included in the final review. Only two articles address food safety as a concern of takeaways. While another five articles discussed the impact of deprivation on the type of food establishment and the food options available. Two articles addressed takeaways but lacked discussion on deprivation. While all eight articles addressed takeaways in some capacity, findings suggest a gap exists in research on the food safety risks and concerns that takeaways pose to people living in deprived neighbourhoods in the UK.
    Keywords: takeaways; food safety; food hygiene; fast food; geography; deprivation; foodborne illness; UK; public health.
