Avaliação higiênico-sanitária de um restaurante universitário localizado na Região Metropolitana do Recife - PE

Abstract

Since the beginning of the 20th century, profound changes have taken place in contemporary society. In order for the population to have a nutritious and quality diet, strict control is necessary through the legislation developed by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) in the environments of the Food and Nutrition Units (UAN). The objective of the present work was to analyze the hygienic-sanitary conditions of a university restaurant located in the city of Recife/PE, taking as reference two checklists: the one of the Resolution of the Collegiate Board of Directors (RDC) nº 275, of October 21, 2002 and a prepared by the establishment itself. The methodology was a case study, with exploratory and descriptive purposes in a food production sector of a university restaurant, with operational procedures being evaluated from the observation "in loco". It was verified as main demands the emerging increase in the physical arrangement and the necessary improvement of the handlers for the zeal for hygienic care. Both checklists achieved a similar score, classifying the establishment in group 1, whose index demonstrates greater compliance with the verification items.
