Food safety is a major public health issue, especially to migrant workers, who account for a large percentage of the workforce that is involved in the food handling and preparation industries. This review discusses the impact of food safety training programs on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on food safety among migrant workers. Source data for 30 peer-reviewed articles (Scopus,  Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar) were analyzed to define key trends and challenges. The findings indicate significant shortcomings in pre-training knowledge regarding proper hygiene protocols and contamination risks.  It was found that training programs had a significant impact on compliance, particularly when modified to overcome cultural and language barriers. There was a positive attitude change following post-training, which was found to be a changing factor in commitment to serving safety standards. Nevertheless, systemic issues like the lack of availability of training, as well as economic vulnerability, remain to be addressed, hindering the sustained embedding of practices learned. The findings highlighted the need for targeted, inclusive capacity-building training approaches to improve food safety outcomes and public health. https://www.foodandnutritionjournal.org/volume13number2/the-impact-of-food-safety-training-programs-on-knowledge-attitude-and-practice-on-food-safety-among-migrant-workers-a-review/ Food safety Knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) Migrant workers Public health Training programs
