Microbial inspection of a Vietnamese hospital kitchen with reference to a Japanese hospital kitchen

Abstract: This study aimed to assess food safety in a Vietnamese hospital kitchen with reference to a Japanese hospital, where hygiene management is well implemented. Microbial inspections, including general viable bacteria count, coliform, and Escherichia coli (E. coli) counts were conducted on 10 cookware items, facility equipment, and 14 cooked foods at the two hospital kitchens in Vietnam and Japan. The mean general viable bacteria counts found on cookware and equipment in the Vietnamese hospital kitchen were signif… Show more

“…With regard to microbiological standards for surfaces and equipment, there is no specific Brazilian legislation, for this reason, the values found were compared with the current legislation, RDC No. 12 [19], which presents the allowed reference standards for ready-to-eat foods, where the coliforms are reference value is 5x10 2 . In the present study, values of 1x10 2 were obtained in all analyzed samples, proving to be adequate, according to the current legislation.…”

In the present study, values of 1x10 2 were obtained in all analyzed samples, proving to be adequate, according to the current legislation. Many studies demonstrate high counts of microorganisms in materials similar to those analyzed in this study [5,17,18].…”
