Quality and Safety in Food Services

By Thaisa Carvalho Volpe Balbinoti

Since 2004, ANVISA has been responsible for inspecting food services in Brazil, with the aim of checking the quality of the premises, the handlers and the products on offer. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of compliance of food businesses with the RDC 216 resolution, as well as its relationship with location (center and outskirts). Data was collected using an inspection form drawn up in accordance with the current RDC. Among the aspects covered, handlers, documentation, registration and responsibility were the most irregular points. From the chemometric analysis of the data, it was identified that the companies located in the center behaved differently from the services on the outskirts, presenting better quality. Despite this, all the food services operated need to be adapted, which can be acquired through training courses.
