ABSTRACT

Sometimes as surfaces where food is prepared they do not meet as adequate conditions for their confection in an innocuous way allowing the existence of several risks for Public Health. In recent years, the number of institutions supporting elderly people (such as life centers and nursing homes) has increased, thus allowing an alternative to the family home. These institutions provide the majority of health care, in addition to everything, it is not as easy as possible, but also to users with conditional mobility. To avoid such as called Foodborne Diseases they can be quite serious in the at-risk group that are the elderly food available at safety rates. In this case, when we talk about the data security section, see the section “Security Devices”. This study aims to evaluate how infrastructure conditions of the institutions concerned, such as practices employed by food handlers. In addition, the number of microorganisms in the hands of the manipulators, surfaces, dishes and utensils should be determined to determine whether there are implications for the safety of the risk to the health of users. It is concluded that, according to a selection list, the Nursing Home presents better results (98.7%) than those obtained by the Day Center (96.3%) regarding the infrastructural part. At the microbiological level and when comparing as two companies we can affirm that the Home presents better results regarding the surfaces, dishes and hands of the manipulators (values less than 10 URL), only presenting values higher than the Day Center for utensils.
