Food safety is a systematic concept aimed at preventing physical, chemical, biological and all possible damages in foods. Physical contamination is the mixing of non-nutrients with food. Biological pollution causes harmful enzymes, parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses, mold or microorganisms in foods originating from soil and water, while chemical contamination is caused by externally added chemicals such as metals, pesticides, detergents, plastics, food additives. The fact that teachers, who take all kinds of responsibilities for students, are also responsible for the nutrition of students during school time, and their awareness of food safety is important. The study aimed to determine knowledge and awareness of teacher candidates about food hygiene practices within the scope of food safety. The research was conducted on 14 teacher candidates studying at ESOGU education faculty in the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. Phenomenological pattern, one of the qualitative research techniques, was used in the study. According to the research results; It was revealed that the candidates did not take any courses on food safety and that they acquired the information about food safety from their personal efforts and experiences in social media and their family. It was recommended that education on food safety should be given at all levels starting from elementary school level in conclusion.
