Avaliação e controle da qualidade microbiológica de mãos de manipuladores de alimentos

Abstract: Microbiological analyses of workers' hands were made for the common indicators, including aerobic mesophilic plate counts (APC), as well as the common food pathogens. Opportunities were observed for cross-contamination of roast beef by workers' hands during slicing operations. Workers' hands showed APC counts of up to 10(7) CFU/hand and the presence of S. aureus and C. perfringens. Salmonella spp were not isolated from hands. These results show that handling of these foods by such workers would be a risk in tr… Show more

“…Considering the lack of standards or official specifications concerning the interpretation of data on dirty water from hand washing, the quantification of pathogens from food-handlers´ hands was established by adapting recommendations postulated by other authors (ALMEIDA et al 1995;ANDRADE;BRABES, 2003). The results for the levels of awareness regarding good practices in food preparation by sandwich vendors and the systematic observation of the practices employed when handling sandwiches were analyzed (AZANZA; GATCHALIAN;ORTEGA, 2000;BEZERRA, 2007;2008) by means of the absolute and relative frequencies obtained using the programme SPSS 10.0.…”

“…Para verificar o nível de contaminação nas mãos dos manipuladores, Almeida et al (1995) desenvolveram um estudo na cozinha de um Restaurante Universitário em Campinas, SP, que fornecia cerca de 6500 refeições por dia. Como resultado, os autores verificaram que os manipuladores avaliados raramente lavavam as mãos quando entravam na cozinha e durante o preparo dos alimentos.…”

“…A presença de microrganismos patogênicos nas mãos dos manipuladores e nas superfícies de manipulação é de grande importância para segurança alimentar, devido à possibilidade de transferência dos mesmos para os alimentos (ALMEIDA et al, 1995). Um manipulador de alimentos é capaz de disseminar de 20 a 70 microrganismos por minuto (SALUSTIANO et al, 2003).…”
