Women in Cambodia believe foods are contaminated with chemicals from pesticides, injections, and the food system. They fear this affects the health of their families. While many prefer natural, homegrown foods and caught fish, resources limit these options. As a result, women employ strategies like thorough cleaning, blanching, and selecting fresher foods to mitigate safety risks from market purchases. Interventions aim to address beliefs about chemical contamination and increase safe access to animal foods important for nutrition.
