Any research work such as this must owe credit to a multitude of people, and could not have
been complete with strictly my own efforts (in terms of research).
This project made me realize how helpful people really can be. Not only the help which is
obvious but even there were people who helped me by motivating me or by encouraging me.
While I was conducting the survey people were very interested with the topic, some of them said
it was a very unique topic. This made me feel very good and motivated me to go deeper into this
matter.
In the beginning, I would like to thank Almighty Allah who gave me the strength to finish this
project. Then I would like to thank my parents who supported me and helped me at every aspect
of this research. Then I would like to express my gratitude to my honorable course instructor
Shafquat Chaudhuri, lecturer of English Department, North South University, he has assisted me
in more ways than I can tally up. He helped me nurture my research paper writing skill in
gradual stages, so as to not cause any panic at any particular stage; and the courage to follow
through with some difficult assignments I had little or no interest in initially completing, but did
it primarily to comply with his humble requests. He also helped me improve my overall writing
style, and ideas, by allowing me to focus on parts I didn‟t know existed: how to break down an
argument into its most basic elements, logic assessments, fallacy pit falls, questionnaire design,
how to not plagiarize from sources. All these elements were essential tools that any student needs
to complete a proper research paper, and she prepared me very well for them, at least from my
limited perspective. In the end, I would like to thank all those people who helped me to conduct
the survey by filling up the questionnaires.

Abstract
This paper describes the result of a quantitative research study that people‟s views about the
hygiene levels in restaurants in Dhaka city. This study has also attempted to identify which
attributes among food-related qualities are critical in improving satisfaction and hygiene level
intention. In Dhaka city, most people are aware of the fact that restaurants aren‟t hygienic completely.
While most people are not aware of the health related diseases which comes with this unhygienic food
.They prefer to eat in restaurants because the food is tastier in their opinion. The restaurants food are
adulterated by using various harmful chemicals and toxic artificial colors. The unhygienic and
unsafe treatment of food is seriously impacting public health by causing numerous chronic and
non-chronic diseases. This study is concerning the hygiene level in restaurant food product . And this
can cause a serious threat to the public health.

Lauren Dundes, Tamiko Swann “ Food safety in fast food restaurant.” Journal of Human
Resources in Hospitality & Tourism, Vol. 7(2), 2008
This article first introduces the passage by informing that the customers are less concern about
the safety of their food when eating in restaurants. In the introduction, it indicates that because of
little experiences, the author interviewed a college restaurant working employee to gain more
information. First paragraph, starts by stating that violations comes from poor hygiene,
cleanliness, food handling, and sanitation. Because of low wage, employees are less concern
about their doings. Second paragraph begins by giving numbers of violations which caused
illnesses of malfunctions of ice cream machine. In the third paragraph, it uses a procedure by
using information given by 3 restaurants working college student. The student described about
her experiences in each chains. She gives details about how the trainings does not come effective
because the training video is boring; second, the managers let whatever employees do, especially
about food concerns.

Newssearch.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2148501.stm. July 24.
The study, conducted by Michael Doyle and colleagues at the University of Georgia, indicates
that cooks and chefs with long finger nails are more likely to pass on food bugs, such as E. Coli,
to consumers. Further, long and artificial nails are a breeding ground for potentially harmful
Page 6
bacteria. Even after thorough washing and brushing, pathogens, such as E. Coli, can remain
under finger nails and can be passed on to consumers.
Burton, Norah. "Yuck’ Factor: Ammonia in Your Beef." Food Safety News. N.p., 10 Jan.
2010. Web. 29 Nov. 2010.
The “Food Safety News” website contributes information about all things food safety related.
Information comes from many headings and categories such as food recalls, food politics,
government agencies, and plenty of articles on various food safety topics. I located an article
named “Yuck‟ Factor: Ammonia in Your Beef.” The article tells of Beef Products Inc.
involvement of adding ammonia to their meat filler for ground beef, then selling the beef to fast
food restaurants and schools for their lunch programs. It helps make the consumer more aware of
the dangers of adding ammonia to consumed beef. The article goes on to say BPI still says that
“their beef is safe and adding ammonia to their product is safe and effective.”
"Health Effects of Ammonia." The Fertilizer Institute. 2010. Web. 23 November 2010
The Fertilizer Institute is “the leading voice in the fertilizer industry.” Since its inception
in 1883.
The Fertilizer Institute has represented the manufacturers, producers, and retailers of fertilizer.
Within the research document, “Health Effects of Ammonia,” The Fertilizer Institute (TFI)
explains the make up and uses of the ammonia chemical. They define the the metabolic
processes, as well as the health factors associated with it the production and consumption of
ammonia within the human body. The thorough details and statistical data support their research
which states ammonia used in fertilizer is safe. In addition to disclosing the positive side of
ammonia, they also address the negative affects. TFI reveals how ammonia is used as a cleaning
Page 7
product and may cause harm if ingested or makes contact with the skin. Should this incident
arise, the company does inform consumers of the proper medical procedures to be followed
should high quantities of ammonia be ingested.
FDA/CFSAN. 2001b. Seafood HACCP Alliance HACCP Training Curriculum Manual:
Hazards - Biological, Chemical, and Physical (Chapter 2). November.
Food safety hazards are typically categorized into three classes: biological, chemical, and
physical. Biological hazards include harmful bacteria, viruses or parasites, such as Salmonella,
Hepatitis A, and Trichinella. Chemical hazards include compounds that can cause illness or
injury due to immediate or long-term exposure. Chemical hazards can be subdivided into
naturally occurring chemicals (mycotoxins, allergens, marine toxins), intentionally added
chemicals (preservatives, nutritional additives, color additives), and unintentionally added
chemicals (pesticides, veterinary drugs, toxic elements, food processing plant chemicals such as
cleaners). Risks increase when chemicals are not controlled or the recommended treatment rates
are exceeded. Physical hazards, on the other hand, include foreign objects in food that can cause
harm when ingested, such as metal or glass fragments.
FDA/CFSAN. 2001f. Chapter 19: Allergens, Food Intolerance Substances and Prohibited
Food and Color Additives. Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and Controls Guidance.
June.
Some food and color additives can cause an allergic-type reaction in consumers. Sulfiting agents
and FD&C Yellow #5 are additives used on fish and fisheries products that can cause such
reactions. A number of foods also contain allergenic proteins. Possible preventive measures
include declaring the presence of the allergen, testing for residue, requiring supplier certification
that the product is allergen free, and reviewing labeling of raw materials.

Introduction
The human body is an amazing work of art. Aside from the beautiful outer shell, physical
function, and its capabilities, the body hides many untold secrets. Future generations may
perhaps one day unlock greater mysteries than what we have uncovered over the last 2,000 years.
Just how these generations will define the body, can probably only eloquently be described by
one word: machine. Like any machine, in order to get the maximum output, it will need high
quality input: food. Taking the machine analogy one step further, we must reach an accord; all
machines will eventually breakdown, and must be repaired. Machines are not sentient beings (as
of yet), and thus cannot repair themselves. This is exact point at which the duality between
human body and machine ends. The human body possesses a self repairing mechanism, and a
problem alert system, called the Immune System, and the Central Nervous System, respectively.
The Immune System has the ability to fight diseases, and heal a diseased (infected) part of the
body; while the Central Nervous System alert‟s the brain, about the body‟s problem areas, or
dietary deficiencies. One example of this signal system was observed by Howenstine (n.d.)
would be a pain sensation in the joints, and that may be caused by that individual‟s lack of
Calcium or Vitamin D in take.
People eat food to stay physically fit. And food is significant reason for the considerable number
of diseases in the entire world. Bangladesh is a third world developing country of South Asia, is
not an exception in this case. Consumption of unsafe food is a serious threat to the public health.
Restaurants in the Dhaka city have been improved on variety and quality over the years. Now
cuisines of different regions other than Chinese and Indian can be found easily. This is achieved
because people are now more aware of other cuisines and also desire to have such restaurants in
our county. The restaurants produce food without concerning the hygiene level. And this can
cause a serious threat to the public health. In many restaurant, the workers wear gloves and caps
that serve the food and also take the money. Thus, they are actually unhygienic.
If we look inside most kitchens of restaurants we can see that it‟s not at all hygienic. As a result
customers consuming this unhygienic food can be victims of illness.
Page 10
Background
Most people are aware of the fact that restaurants in the Dhaka city aren‟t hygienic completely.
While most people are not aware of the health related diseases which comes with this unhygienic
food .They prefer to eat in restaurants because the food is tastier in their opinion. Lunch hours
are mostly spending in restaurants by the office working people and also students of University.
What is food hygiene
Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in
ways that prevent food borne illness. This includes a number of routines that should be followed
to avoid potentially severe health hazards.
Food Safety Problems and Recommended Controls
The tracks within this line of thought are safety between industry and the market and then
between the market and the consumer. In considering industry to market practices, food safety
considerations include the origins of food including the practices relating to food labeling, food
hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues, as well as policies on biotechnology and food and
guidelines for the management of governmental import and export inspection and certification
systems for foods. In considering market to consumer practices, the usual thought is that food
ought to be safe in the market and the concern is safe delivery and preparation of the food for the
consumer. Food can transmit disease from person to person as well as serve as a growth medium
for bacteria that can cause food poisoning. In developed countries there are intricate standards
for food preparation, whereas in lesser developed countries the main issue is simply the
availability of adequate safe water, which is usually a critical item. In theory, food poisoning is
100% preventable. The five key principles of food hygiene, according to WHO are:
Page 11
1. Prevent contaminating food with pathogens spreading from people, pets, and pests.
2. Separate raw and cooked foods to prevent contaminating the cooked foods.
3. Cook foods for the appropriate length of time and at the appropriate temperature to kill
pathogens.
4. Store food at the proper temperature.
5. Do use safe water and cooked materials.
Hygiene food
Hygiene is a set of practices performed for the preservation of health. While in modern medical
sciences there is a set of standards of hygiene recommended for different situations, what is
considered hygienic or not can vary between different cultures, genders and entrain groups.
Some regular hygienic practices may be considered good habits by a society while the neglect of
hygiene can be considered disgusting, disrespectful or even threatening. Hygiene is an old
concept related to medicine, as well as to personal and professional care practices related to most
aspects of living. In medicine and in home (domestic) and everyday life settings, hygiene
practices are employed as preventative measures to reduce the incidence and spreading of
disease. In the manufacture of food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other products, good hygiene
is a key part of quality assurance i.e. ensuring that the product complies with microbial
specifications appropriate to its use. The terms cleanliness (or cleaning) and hygiene are often
used interchangeably, which can cause confusion. In general, hygiene mostly means practices
that prevent spread of disease-causing organisms. Since cleaning processes (e.g., hand washing)
remove infectious microbes as well as dirt and soil, they are often the means to achieve hygiene.
Other uses of the term appear in phrases including: body hygiene, personal hygiene, sleep
hygiene, mental hygiene, dental hygiene, and occupational hygiene, used in connection with
public health. Hygiene is also the name of a branch of science that deals with the promotion and
preservation of health, also called hygienic. Hygiene practices vary widely, and what is
considered acceptable in one culture might not be acceptable in another.
Page 12
Hygiene Requirements
In order to produce food safely , must ensure that where and how it is produce is hygienic.must
make sure that premises are kept clean and are properly equipped .Foods must be hygienically
handled. Staff must be appropriately supervised ,and be instructed and /or trained in food
hygiene matters so that they can carry out their work hygienically. The rules decrible in general
the requirements need to meet.
Managing Food Safety
Producing food safely doesn‟t happen by accident. Need to manage the process in order to
protect the customers and reputation and to comply with the low. The hygiene rules require to
have a procedure in place for going this with respects certain principles.
Contamination and food borne illness
It begins by stating the three types of dangerous reliable for food outbreaks. The three types are
biological hazards, chemical hazards, and physical hazards. Each of these hazards are explained
in details. For instance, biological hazards gives details about the types of bacteria it carries, and
explains each one, what it dose, how it grows, when it grows, and gives a usual case, and how it
can be control. It gives details about chemical hazard. It explains 4 types of chemicals detergents,
preservatives, acidic, and toxic metals. It gives details about each. Pesticides is a chemical that is
sprayed to kill insects in food which can be harmful, foodservice cleaning chemical are o be
away from food. Explains about additives and preservatives that are added to favor and
ingredient the food for not to decay and to flavor the food which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea
and asthma attacks . Metal-lined causes problem with acidic food items.
But often this restaurants produce food without concerning the hygiene level. And this can cause
a serious threat to the public health.
Page 13
In many food joints, the workers wear gloves and bayonets that serve the food and also take the
money. Thus, they are actually unhygienic. If we look inside most kitchens of restaurants we
can see that it‟s not at all hygienic. As a result customers consuming this unhygienic food can be
victims of heart diseases, Hepatitis, Diarrhea etc.
Research Questions
In my research, I plan to find out how aware the people of Dhaka are about the unhygienic food
in the restaurants and the health precautions. Also if they are knowingly consuming such food.
To that end, I will be addressing the following research questions:
What is food hygiene?
What is the level of hygiene in Dhaka restaurant?
How aware are the people are of the related health diseases?
Why do they like to eat in such restaurants then having homemade food?
How is it maintained in public eating places?
In which areas/how is it deficient?
What are the effects on consumers effect of bad hygiene?
What can the government do to improve the condition of the products?
What are the effects on consumer of bad hygiene?
Page 14
HYPOTHESIS:
My hypothesis is that many people are aware of the fact that restaurants in the Dhaka city aren‟t
hygienic completely .While most people are not aware of the health related hazards which are
results with this unhygienic food. People consuming this food are often having gastric, gastric
cancer, diarrhea, food poisoning and heart related problems etc. The government can play a role
in this by appointing health inspect in every restaurant in the city so that restaurants maintain
their food quality and cleanliness and also the customers will be aware of the restaurants hygiene
level. Even though most people are aware of the bad quality food service they are bound to eat in
restaurants while some doesn‟t want to change their food habits. Also we can conclude the
people opinion/suggestion for better service.
Research Methodology:
For my primary research, I will conduct a survey of representative sampling of the general public
in Dhaka on their views about the hygiene levels of restaurants in Dhaka. My target group will
be general people. I will also design a questionnaire with different types of questions to get range
of useful data which will help me to answer my research questions.
For my secondary research I plan to use the resources of the web-books and articles, standard
references sources and databases, government documents, media and academic web-sites etc.

Summary of research findings
After conducting my primary research I have found all the necessary data and I have analyzed
those in the form of graph. Finally I came to a decision that my hypothesis matched properly.
Before conducting the survey my expectation was that, most people are not aware of the health
related hazards which are results with this unhygienic food . People prefer to eat in restaurants because
the food is tastier in their opinion. Lunch hours are mostly spending in restaurants by the office working
people and also students of University.
Finally, it can be said that most of the people‟s view about the hygiene levels in restaurants in
Dhaka and whether it causes any serious threat to the public health.
Page 29
Recommendations
As, according to my data analysis I have found that people consuming the restaurant food are
often having gastric, gastric cancer, diarrhea, food poisoning and heart related problems etc.
Large number of people suffering this type of problem . Even though most people are aware of
the bad quality food service they are bound to eat in restaurants while some doesn‟t want to
change their food habits.
Limitations
While conducting survey I had to go through with some limitations. As my targeted groups are
general people, so I had to know the opinion. But most of the people became irritated, even some
of them rejected to take a part in the survey. Again most of them didn‟t have broader knowledge
about the topic. For my secondary research I didn‟t find enough information from the internet.
As there were a few research conducted in our country regarding the topic, so it was a
challenging to find relevant secondary data from net.
Page 30
Conclusion
After conducting and analyzing all my research paper, I have found one thing that is: think,
without proper thinking we can‟t do anything.
In every situation, if we can control our mind and we can think properly, we can solve
everything. The government can appoint health inspect in every restaurant in the city so that
restaurants maintain their food quality and cleanliness and also the customers will be aware of
the restaurants hygiene level. Even though most people are aware of the bad quality food service
they are bound to eat in restaurants while some doesn‟t want to change their food habits. Also we
can conclude the people opinion/suggestion for better service. We have to do something for
ourselves, for our planet.
In our everyday lives, personal actions are extremely important. Involvement is necessary in
every level of mankind, starting from low income families to powerful politicians. Given the
level of people‟s awareness, they are doing the best they can. Hence we need to increase our
awareness among general people.
Day by day, we have to think positively to reduce our restaurant food related problems. And after
certain time, we can reach our destination and for that we have to think and only think. We do
not have to stop all of our consumptions; all we need to do is to be conscious of what we are
consuming.
