A importância das boas práticas na produção de alimentos como estratégia para promover a segurança alimentar e nutricional dos consumidores

Abstract

Foodborne Diseases (DTA) have been considered a relevant public health problem and have as main cause the lack of satisfactory sanitary hygienic measures during food handling (CARVALHO, 2017). Therefore, the concern with product quality has motivated the development and creation of quality control regulations and tools as a way to guarantee the consumer the safety of the foods that will be consumed (CUNHA; MAGALHÃES; BONNAS, 2013). Therefore, the objective of this literature review was to highlight the importance of an effective quality management system in food production in order to promote the food safety of consumers of meals outside the home. After the study it was concluded that an effective quality management system in food production is essential for food safety of consumers of meals produced in both commercial and institutional meal-producing units.
