Ocorrência de não conformidades físico-químicas e microbiológicas em leite e derivados no estado de Minas Gerais, no período de 2011 a 2015 / Occurrence of physico-chemical and microbiological nonconformities in milk and dairy products in the State of Minas Gerais, from 2011 to 2015

Milk and dairy products are potential sources for spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, and although a huge amount of data is collected by the official inspection services, only a few reports are available to the public. This study aimed to evaluate the data for physicochemical and microbiological quality of pasteurized milk and dairy products, collected for inspection at industrial establishments registered at the Instituto Mineiro de Agropecuária (IMA), which is an official inspection service in Minas Gerasi State, Brazil. A total of 192 analyzes were done in 2011, 1008 in 2012, 1368 in 2013, 1271 in 2014, 1582 in 2015, adding up to 5421 samples analyzed by standard analytical techniques in official government laboratories. The statistical analysis was descriptive. A total of 2010 analytical results were nonconform to the legal requirements. Among the results, 78 (4.3%) samples of mozzarella cheese were positive for alkaline phosphatase, and freezing point results for pasteurized milk were outside the legal requirements in 86 (10%) samples. Staphylococcus coagulase positive was above limits in 80 (4.4%) samples of mozzarella cheese. These results indicate a risk to the consumer's health even in pasteurized products, and the need for effective enforcement of good manufacturing practices in the food industries.(AU)

Avaliação das Boas Práticas de Fabricação em estabelecimentos produtores e comercializadores de sanduíche natural / Evaluation of good manufacturing practices in natural sandwich production and marketing establishments

A mudança no estilo de vida aumentou a busca por alimentação fora do domicílio que seja saudável, segura e de rápido acesso. Objetivou-se avaliar as condições higiênico-sanitárias de estabelecimentos que manipulam e comercializam sanduíches naturais. Foi aplicado o check list, em três estabelecimentos (E1, E2 e E3), baseado na RDC 216/2004 e275/2002. Os itens não conformes relacionados aos manipuladores e documentações destacaram-se em relação aos demais. Concluiu-se que o não cumprimento de parte das normas de Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF), principalmente em relação à conduta dos manipuladores e a documentação, contribuiu para a condição higiênico-sanitária regular dos E1 e E3. Desta forma, programas de capacitação e elaboração do manual de BPF promoveriam melhorias efetivas nos estabelecimentos.
