This work aimed to evaluate the profile of microbiological contamination in infant formula milk powder and reconstituted, water and utensils used in food preparation for infants less than one year in lactaries five hospitals with pediatric care in the city of Goiânia, Goiás state, Brazil. Also conducted a follow-up of professionals involved in the preparation and distribution of infant formula, through verification of good handling practices on lactaries room, as well as evaluation of the hygienic conditions of the hands and nasal pits. 640 samples were obtained considering the two stages of the study, so before and after training in best practices for handlers involved. These samples for microbiological determinations coliforms at 35 °C and 45 °C, coagulase positive staphylococci, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and mesophilic aerobic microorganisms, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were performed. Presence of P. aeruginosa was observed in a sample of water and another of aerobic mesophilic. All samples of infant formula milk powder proved adequate to consume according to current legal resolution, but a sample of them, reconstituted, presented coliform count at 35 °C above the limit allowed by law. There was an improvement in the microbiological profile of respondents between the two stages of the research vessels, being statistically significant at 35 °C for coliforms and P. aeruginosa. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in nasal cavity and hands of food handlers were found. None of lactaries surveyed during the study demonstrated satisfactory level of compliance against the current health legislation after application of the checklist in good handling practices. Even after training several nonconformities relating the adjustments set was identified. With this study it was concluded that the infant formula infants were offered to secure the microbiological point of view. Good manufacturing practices and training tools can be permanent improvement in sanitary hygienic control in the food production process. We need better public policies to develop, oversee and implement effective legislation to health services, as well as ensure the sanitary quality of food to the population.
