Mapping evidence on charitable food assistance system's compliance with safety and general hygiene requirements in Africa and the rest of the world: a systematic scoping review protocol.

We hope to find relevant studies that highlight evidence of charitable organisations' food safety and general hygiene practices, in order to effectively compare their performance to those of formal and informal food establishments. Findings of this study will be disseminated electronically, in print and through peer presentation, conferences and congresses on synergies between efforts to reduce food loss and waste and those practices of public health concern.
