Food Protection Trends - July/August 2018 - 293

possibility that participants could have been influenced by
the Hawthorne effect, meaning they were more aware of their
food-handling behaviors, which could lower the number of
risky behaviors observed (29). There were also limitations
in the literature used to analyze this data, such as the risks
related to the use of technology in food-handling situations.
Further research into food recovery programs, to include all
programs that supply food to hunger relief organizations,
should be conducted to inform educational interventions
specifically developed for this audience, with special attention
to addressing limitations of this study.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This research would not have been possible without the
support of Virginia Tech Student Affairs, which supports the
dining service and the food recovery program observed for
this study. Specifically, Eliza Wethey, Kasey Owen, Cat Piper,
Dr. Martha Glass and Jeananne Knies provided invaluable
guidance throughout this project.
