Resumo: | ObjectiveThis work aimed to assess the temperature and sanitary quality of the foods available on the buffet table of self-service restaurants located in the city of Taubaté (SP), in order to discuss food safety. MethodsFour samples, two of cold dishes and two of hot dishes, were collected from each of 16 restaurants. The temperature of the foods on the buffet table was measured before the sample was taken. The following parameters were investigated for each sample: aerobic mesophilic bacteria count, determination of coliforms at 35ºC and 45ºC, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus count and presence of Salmonella. ResultsThe temperature of 56 (87.5%) foods was inadequate: cold dishes were kept above 10ºC and hot dishes were kept below 60ºC. Aerobic mesophilic bacteria counts above 106 CFU/g were detected in 11% of the samples, coliforms at 35ºC in 76.6% and coliforms at 45º in 43.7%. Two foods, one cold and one hot, both from the same restaurant, had a coagulase-positive Staphylococcus count above 104 CFU/g. Salmonella was not found in any of the samples. ConclusionKeeping the foods available on buffet tables under incorrect temperatures and a high count of microorganisms that indicate poor sanitary quality of the food can compromise safety and jeopardize the customer’s health. The instruments used in this study proved to be important tools for assessing food safety. |

ObjetivoEsse trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a temperatura e a qualidade sanitária de alimentos servidos nos balcões de distribuição em restaurantes self-service no município de Taubaté (SP), com vistas à discussão da segurança alimentar. MétodosForam coletadas quatro amostras, sendo dois alimentos quentes e dois alimentos frios de 16 restaurantes; antes da coleta mediu-se a temperatura dos alimentos expostos nos balcões de distribuição. As amostras foram analisadas quanto aos seguintes parâmetros: contagem de bactérias aeróbias mesófilas, determinação de coliformes a 35ºC e a 45ºC, contagem de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e detecção de Salmonella. ResultadosCinquenta e seis (87,5%) alimentos estavam em temperaturas inadequadas, alimentos frios expostos em temperaturas acima de 10°C e alimentos quentes abaixo de 60°C. Bactérias aeróbias mesófilas em contagem acima de 106 UFC/g foram detectadas em 11% das amostras e coliformes a 35ºC e coliformes a 45ºC foram detectadas em 76,6% e 43,7% das amostras, respectivamente. Dois alimentos, sendo um frio e um quente, provenientes de um mesmo restaurante, apresentaram contagem de Staphylococcus coagulase positivo acima de 104 UFC/g. Todas as amostras apresentaram ausência de Salmonella. ConclusãoA manutenção dos alimentos servidos, nos balcões de distribuição, em temperaturas abusivas e a presença de microrganismos indicadores de qualidade sanitária em número elevado comprometem a segurança e podem colocar em risco a saúde dos consumidores, em restaurantes self-service. Os instrumentos utilizados demonstraram-se como ferramentas importantes de avaliação da segurança das refeições servidas.
