Resumo Boas Práticas de Fabricação nas agroindústrias são necessárias para controlar a multiplicação de microrganismos e prevenir a ocorrência de doenças veiculadas por alimentos. Dentre os diversos alimentos que podem ser contaminados pela manipulação intensiva, destacam-se os produtos cárneos, como a linguiça frescal. Com base no exposto, objetivou-se avaliar o nível de contaminação de linguiças frescais produzidas no município de Alegrete (RS) no âmbito da fiscalização do SIM/SISBI entre 2014 e 2016 e correlacionar ao atendimento das Boas Práticas de Fabricação (questionários, orientações e treinamentos). Amostras regulares foram coletadas em 10 estabelecimentos da cidade e testadas para coliformes termotolerantes, Clostridium sulfito redutor, Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e Salmonella spp. A quantificação microbiana de coliformes termotolerantes, Clostridium sulfito redutor, Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e Salmonella spp. diminuiu significativamente, indicando que as intervenções contribuíram para melhorar o perfil microbiológico da linguiça frescal produzida na cidade. intensiva destacamse destacam se cárneos exposto objetivouse objetivou RS (RS SIMSISBI SIM SISBI 201 questionários, questionários (questionários treinamentos. treinamentos . treinamentos) 1 termotolerantes redutor spp significativamente 20 2
Abstract Good manufacturing practices in production facilities are necessary to control microbiological growth and prevent foodborne illnesses. Among the various foods that can be contaminated by intensive handling, meat products such as fresh sausages stand out. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to establish a microbiological profile of the fresh sausages produced in the municipality of Alegrete-RS, Brazil, as part of the SIM/SISBI inspection between 2014 and 2016 and to promote and evaluate the producing establishments in terms of compliance with good manufacturing practices. Samples were regularly taken from 10 businesses in the city and tested for thermotolerant coliform bacteria, sulphitereducing Clostridium, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus and Salmonella spp. In addition, the adequacy of good manufacturing practices was assessed and measures in the form of questionnaires, guidelines and training to improve the production chain were implemented in these companies. Over the years, significant improvements in compliance with good manufacturing practices have been observed in the production units. The microbial count of thermotolerant coliforms, sulphite-reducing Clostridium, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus and Salmonella spp. decreased significantly, indicating that the interventions contributed to improving the microbiological profile of the fresh sausage produced in the community. illnesses handling out mind AlegreteRS, AlegreteRS Alegrete RS, RS Alegrete-RS Brazil SIMSISBI SIM SISBI 201 1 bacteria Clostridium coagulasepositive coagulase positive spp addition questionnaires companies years units coliforms sulphite reducing significantly community 20 2
