Contaminação de sachês e tubos flexíveis de plásticos para molhos em lanchonetes de uma instituição de ensino superior

Abstract

Contamination of food can lead to foodborne illness, a global public health problem. The main triggering factor of these diseases is the lack of adequate hygiene by food handlers, who do not follow the appropriate recommendations of the responsible organs. The microorganism responsible for most of the poisoning cases is bacteria; either by their high degree of virulence or by serotypes of greater pathogenesis of species that may be part of the human microbiota. The objective of this work was to analyze sachets and flexible tubes of plastics regarding their bacterial contamination in snack bars of a higher education institution. The use of plastic hoses has greater bacterial contamination than sachets; Closed packagings are not sources of food for bacteria.
