The minority of those with knowledge of quality control only 34 % practice it during storing of food products and only 1.6 % practice HACCP. The need to introduce HACCP as a working tools to fast food establishments in Kaduna cannot be over emphasize hence it will help in reducing the spread of foodborne diseases. It is recommended that fast food establishments in Kaduna Metropolis need to be train on HACCP and its implementation should be made compulsory to all fast food establishments.
