Abstract

This research aimed to examine the relationship between the type of food manufacturing facility and the information displayed on food labeling, as well as to study the effects of enhancing knowledge and skills in food labeling for food entrepreneurs. The samples used in this research were food labels from food manufacturing facilities in Samut Sakhon province, which were submitted for evaluation during the period from March to June 2024, totaling 380 labels. The research utilized two types of data collection tools developed by the researcher for evaluation: the food label inspection report according to the Ministry of Public Health's announcements No. 367 (2014), No. 383 (2017), and No. 394 (2018). Food entrepreneurs were also required to attend 1 to 3 consultation sessions. The findings indicated that there was a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) between the type of food manufacturing facility and whether or not it was certified according to manufacturing standards (GMP, HACCP, or GHP), and the display of information on food labeling. Concerning the impact of enhancing knowledge and skills in food labeling, it was found that deficiencies in displaying information on food labeling tended to decrease, particularly before the second consultation session. It is recommended to enhance knowledge and skills in food labeling in an integrated manner using various methods.
