- Abstract
Community food service is a worldwide phenomenon especially in self-service restaurants, even though it has been underscored for epidemiological onsets of food-transmitted diseases. Current survey evaluates the microbiological quality of food (pasta, beef, lettuces and mayonnaise) in ten self-service restaurants in Canoinhas SC Brazil. Thermometer was employed and standard microbiological analyses were performed. No sample from the cold section presented adequate temperature. In the case of hot food, only two beef samples had the proper temperature. Only three out of the ten beef samples were safe for human consumption. Six out of the ten pasta samples were safe for human consumption. Results show that, due to high contamination indexes in the food analyzed, good practices in the preparation of food are lacking. Time and temperature contribute towards food contamination.
