Abstract

After the industrial revolution the food quality control became more effective, which started to control the production processes. However, with the introduction of supermarkets and self-services, it was necessary to obtain food safety and the application of control measures that include from raw material, production, distribution up to commercialization.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the hygienic conditions of two supermarkets in the City of Itaqui, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through the good practice checklist, from RDC n ° 275/02 and identify problems to be prioritized for further resolution through Pareto graphic. For this, data collection occurred during the month of July two thousand and fourteen, to perform an observation and application of the checklist of good practices and subsequent application of the Pareto graphic prioritizing the evidenced problematic. After performing the analysis and identification of Pareto, it was possible to emphasize that the main problems encountered were related to food handlers, integrated pest control and refrigeration chamber.
