Smart devices in the kitchen
Consumers’ use of smart devices while preparing food in the domestic kitchen on the island of Ireland.
In February 2021, safefood commissioned a research project to understand the use of smart devices in the kitchen and associated microbiological food safety risks on the island of Ireland. The aim of this research was to collect data to gain insights into how smart devices are being used in the domestic environment, to assess consumer behaviour and understand how this affects food safety on the island. This report presents research findings and recommends ways to support the safe utilisation of smart devices during meal preparation.
