Resumo: | ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe the trade and microbiological quality of boiled quail eggs on the waterfront of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, from the child labor perspective. MethodsThis cross-sectional study administered semi-structured questionnaires to 40 underage vendors and performed the microbiological assessment of 40 quail egg samples as follows: mesophilic aerobic microorganism count, coagulase-positive staphylococcus count, estimation of the most probable number of total and thermotolerant coliforms/Escherichia coli, and testing for Salmonella spp.. The results were compared with the standards provided by the Resolution RDC n° 12/2001, National Sanitary Surveillance Agency. ResultsThe vendors were mostly female (57.5%) students (95.0%) aged 8 to 17 years. The most common reason for working was supplementation of the family income (57.5%). The mean gross income was R$38.31/day. Most of them presented inadequate personal hygiene but they recognized that foods could cause diseases. Many (47.5%) vendors reported washing their hands up to twice daily. Mean mesophilic aerobic microorganism and coagulase-positive staphylococcus counts were 2.43 and 2.01 log colony-forming unit/g, respectively, and the estimated thermotolerant coliform contamination was 0.98 log most probable number/g. Escherichia coli was found in 15.0% of the samples and none contained Salmonella spp. Most (55.0%) samples were noncompliantwith the legislation. ConclusionThe results evidenced the presence of minors selling quail eggs on beaches of Salvador and suggest risk to consumers’ health because of the detected contamination and vendors’ ignorance of principles of hygiene. |

MétodosRealizou-se estudo transversal, com aplicação de questionários semi-estruturados, junto a 40 vendedores menores de idade, e análise microbiológica de 40 amostras, submetidas aos procedimentos que seguem: contagem de micro-organismos aeróbios mesófilos, estafilococos coagulase-positiva e estimativa do número mais provável de coliformes totais e termotolerantes/Escherichia coli e pesquisa de Salmonella spp. Os resultados foram comparados com padrões da Resolução RDC n° 12/2001, Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária. ResultadosOs vendedores eram predominantemente meninas (57,5%), tinham faixa etária entre 8 e 17 anos e estudavam (95.0%). A complementação da renda familiar foi a razão mais apontada para o trabalho (57,5%), sendo a renda média na atividade de R$38,31/dia. A maioria não observava requisitos de higiene pessoal, porém considerou que os alimentos poderiam veicular doenças. Quanto à frequência de lavagem das mãos, a maioria (47,5%) declarou lavá-las até duas vezes/dia. As contagens de micro-organismos aeróbios mesófilos e estafilococos coagulase-positiva registraram valores médios de 2,43 e 2,01 log unidade formadora colônia/g, respectivamente, enquanto a estimativa de termotolerantes foi de 0,98 log número mais provável/g; identificou-se Escherichia coli em 15,0% das amostras e ausência de Salmonella spp. Entre as amostras, 55,0% classificaram--se como não conformes. ConclusãoOs resultados evidenciam a inclusão de menores de idade no comércio de ovos de codorna, nas praias e sugerem riscos aos consumidores, devido à contaminação registrada e ao desconhecimento dos vendedores quanto aos princípios de higiene.
