This study aims to determine the effect of undergraduate education of food and beverage management on the knowledge level of students regarding food safety. The knowledge of students (n=145) regarding food safety was evaluated by comparing with control group (n=60). The study found that the knowledge of students in food and beverage management regarding food safety was significantly higher (p<0.001) than control group. In addition, the knowledge levels of female students (p<0.001) and the students who had vocational training in high school (p<0.01) were high; however undergraduate education is important and effective in filling this gap. Having food safety education in high school and university is more effective in increasing the knowledge level (r=0.427, p<0.01). Therefore, employing managers who had academic education regarding the sector can contribute to improve food safety conditions.
