Avaliação de boas práticas de fabricação em escolas de ensino fundamental no município de Boquim/SE

Abstract

Good School Feeding Practices are of fundamental importance to guarantee hygienic and sanitary control in food handling, preventing cross-contamination through food. The aim of this study was to apply a checklist to the municipal primary and secondary schools in the municipality of Boquim, in order to verify the conformity and non conformity of the food and nutrition units, using the Good Manufacturing Practices Checklist in the UAN. The inspection criteria were assessed, including equipment, facilities, furniture, buildings and their hygiene, pest and vector control, water supply, waste management, handlers, raw materials, ingredients and packaging, food preparation and storage, display of prepared food, documentation and records, and responsibility. As a result of the results obtained, the classification of each unit followed the scoring criteria of RDC 275/2002, the eight units were classified in Group 2 of compliance, with a total that reached the percentages of 60.22% school B, 60.77% units A and E, 61.88% H, 65.75% C, 67.96 schools D and F and 68.51% G. When evaluated by block, the results were different. The highest scores, with 100% compliance, were related to Pest and Vector Control, due to the fact that pest control is carried out uniformly in all the units, even on different days, and Responsibility, as all the units have a technical manager responsible for the activities carried out in the units, as well as training for the handlers. The conclusion of this study was that the results obtained through the good manufacturing practices checklist showed a low to medium risk of contamination for all the items assessed, even in the face of some non conformities, as they did not present a potential risk of infection.
