The 21st Supply Deposit of the Brazilian Army (21st DSup), located in the city of São Paulo provides food raw materials for 16000 meals daily, and frozen fish is among the foodstuffs distributed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the good practices of seafood storage in the 21st DSup, identify issues of non-compliance that compromise food quality, and propose solutions. The system was evaluated, applying a checklist (RDC 275/2002) to evaluate the percentage of requirements in compliance with good practices. The 21st DSup was classified in Group 3, with 41% of items in conformance (< 50%), and we found that there is no hygienic-sanitary self-control program for storing cold seafood and other food supplies. The cold stores’ temperatures are not able to maintain products within the required standards of conservation. The seafood cold storage protocol of the 21st DSup does not guarantee temperature conformity. It is necessary to implement a hygienic-sanitary self-control program for food supply storage, which should begin with the development of a food safety culture.

O presente estudo verificou as condições de boas práticas de higiene e manipulação (BPHM) e de infraestrutura (iE) de oito restaurantes/lanchonetes e de sete pontos de comércio ambulante localizados na Cidade Universitária Armando de Salles oliveira (CUASo-USP) por meio de abordagem exploratória e qualitativa através da aplicação de listas de verificação.Concluiu-se que os estabelecimentos de comércio alimentício da CUASo-USP apresentaram índices regulares de cumprimento de BPHM e adequação de IE, sendo que o eixo de higiene e manipulação de alimentos mostrou-se em melhor situação quando comparado ao de infraestrutura. os ambulantes analisados apresentaram melhores resultados no cumprimento das normas de BPHM e IE quando comparados aos estabelecimentos fixos de comércio alimentício. Constatou-se que é possível a prática do comércio de alimentos de rua com qualidade, sem caracterizar uma ameaça à saúde publica.

The aims of this study were to translate into Portuguese, adapt, and test the reliability, internal consistency, conceptual equivalence, and validity of the food safety climate self‐assessment tool. Translation and back translation were performed to test the reliability, internal consistency, conceptual equivalence, and validity of the translated instrument. The process of translating and adapting the tool was completed successfully, and the Portuguese version developed in the present study was confirmed to be similar to the original tool. Practical applications The food safety climate self‐assessment tool translated and adapted to promote the evaluation of the food safety climate in the food industry from Portuguese language countries. This tool should be used by industry managers or owners to know the perception and the culture of food safety among the workers.

Large quantities of waste are generated throughout the seafood supply chain. Although this material has a great potential for use (e.g. pharmaceutical industry, animal feed production), if not managed properly it represents an environmental risk. In order to meet the volume, destination, and method of storage of waste of Brazilian seafood supply chain, we got information from 29 companies that have Official Veterinary Inspection (SIF). After the industrialization of seafood only 44% on average of the total raw material is used for human consumption and 59.2% of the unused portion is discarded in landfill. Keywords: Seafood supply chain. Environment. Sustainability. Supply chain management. ResumoGrandes quantidades de resíduo são geradas ao longo da cadeia produtiva do pescado. Embora este material apresente um grande potencial de aproveitamento (e.g. indústria farmacêutica, produção de ração), se não for corretamente destinado, representa risco ambiental. A fim de conhecer o volume, a destinação e o método de armazenamento do resíduo produzido pela indústria do pescado no Brasil, 29 empresas de processamento de pescado, sob Serviço de Inspeção Federal (SIF), foram estudadas em todo o país. Identificou-se que cerca de 44% do total produzido é matéria-prima utilizada para consumo humano, e 59,2% representa resíduo sem finalidade útil, descartado em lixões.
