Sanitary Conditions

Nas Unidades de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN), as contaminações podem ser oriundas das diversas etapas de manuseio do alimento, aumentando, assim, a incidência de doenças de origem alimentar, sendo necessária a manutenção de condições higiênico-sanitárias adequadas e locais apropriados, de forma a garantir a dignidade do ato de se alimentar. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as condições higiênico-sanitárias e físico-estruturais de Unidades de Alimentação e Nutrição. O estudo foi realizado em UAN dos municípios de Teresina, Picos, Floriano e Parnaíba no Estado do Piauí, nas quais foram codificadas em A, B, C, D, E, F e G. Realizou-se a aplicação do checklist adaptado da RDC nº 275/2002, em que cada item foi avaliado em “conforme” e “não-conforme” e seus resultados foram apresentados em porcentagens. Das 7 UAN analisadas, 57% eram UAN institucionais, 29% UAN hospitalares e 14% UAN não institucionais, a maioria apresentou percentuais de conformidades maior que 70%, destacando a UAN A (95,3%). A UAN E foi a que apresentou menor percentual de adequação na maioria dos itens, destacando o item matérias-primas, ingredientes e embalagens (18,2%), sendo classificada como muito ruim. A UAN G foi a única que não apresentou documentos e registro. Conclui-se que a maioria das UAN apresentou condições higiênico-sanitárias satisfatórias em boa parte dos itens preconizados pela RDC n° 216/2004. Entretanto, algumas UAN foram classificadas como ruins, podendo gerar riscos à saúde dos comensais.   Palavras-chave: Alimentação Coletiva. Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional.

Boas Práticas de Fabricação.   Abstract In Food and Nutrition Units (UAN), contamination may  come from the various stages of food handling, thus increasing the incidence of food-borne illnesses, requiring the maintenance of adequate hygienic-sanitary conditions and appropriate places, to guarantee the dignity of the feeding act. The study was carried out in UAN in the municipalities of Teresina, Picos, Floriano and Parnaíba in the state of Piauí, in which they were coded in A, B, C, D, E, F and G. The checklist adapted from RDC nº 275/2002 was applied, in which each item was evaluated as "compliant" and "non-compliant" and its results were presented in percentages. Of the 7 UANs analyzed, 57% were institutional UANs, 29% hospital UANs and 14% non-institutional UANs, the majority had conformity percentages greater than 70%, highlighting UAN A (95.3%). The UAN E was the one with the lowest percentage of adequacy in most items, highlighting the item raw materials, ingredients and packaging (18.2%), being classified as very bad. The UAN G was the only one that did not present documents and registration. It is concluded that the majority of UANs presented satisfactory hygienic-sanitary conditions in most of the items recommended by RDC nº 216/2004. However, some UANs have been classified as bad, which can create health risks for diners.   Keywords: Collective Food. Food and Nutrition Security. Food Handling. Good Manufacturing Practices.

The Impact

El impacto de la pandemia causada por el COVID-19 puede profundizar las situaciones de malnutrición, donde será necesario adaptar los programas alimentarios a este nuevo contexto. El objetivo de este trabajo fue presentar la metodología y los principales resultados del proceso de formulación de una guía federal basada en la evidencia científica y adaptada a la realidad de la población infanto-juvenil que asiste a los comedores escolares de las 24 jurisdicciones de Argentina. Se observó que las modalidades de implementación de CE durante la pandemia fueron: módulos alimentarios (la más frecuente); módulos alimentarios entregados en la escuela con sostenimiento del CE regular y, viandas y/o refrigerios entregados diariamente. Existió escasa evidencia a nivel global y regional sobre recomendaciones específicas aplicadas a la implementación de CE, aunque se encontraron recomendaciones sobre higiene y manipulación de alimentos. A partir de un proceso participativo entre actores claves se obtuvieron recomendaciones específicas según las dimensiones de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional (SAN). Se concluye que resulta necesario aumentar las experiencias participativas en el diseño de recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia, adaptadas al territorio y que asuman un enfoque integral desde las dimensiones de la SAN. The impact of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 may deepen the situations of malnutrition, where it will be necessary to adapt food programs to this new context. The objective of this work was to present the methodology and the main results of the process of formulating a federal guide based on scientific evidence and adapted to the reality of the child and adolescent population that attend school canteens in the 24 jurisdictions of Argentina. It was observed that the modalities for the implementation of SC during the pandemic were: food modules (the most frequent); food modules delivered at school with regular SC support and, food and/or snacks delivered daily. There was little evidence at the global and regional level on specific recommendations applied to the implementation of SC, although recommendations on hygiene and food handling were found. Based on a participatory process among key actors, specific recommendations were obtained according to the dimensions of food and nutrition security (FNS). It is concluded that it is necessary to increase participatory experiences in the design of recommendations based on evidence, adapted to the territory and that assume a comprehensive approach from the dimensions of FNS.

Global Food

Today's predominant food system on the one hand produces plenty of food, making food relatively cheap for most people in the world. However, for many people, the food they can afford is insufficiently nutritious. Major global health problems like obesity are partly a result of the present food system. Furthermore, the modern industrial way of producing food has negative environmental consequences, consisting among others of a decline in soil fertility and a loss of biodiversity. Another food system is required to obtain sustainable global food and nutrition security. This food system should observe the normativity of the agricultural practices that produce food. The authors' analysis of agricultural practices shows that the farm is economically qualified but that the primary process of care for soil, crops, and animals can best be seen as an ethically qualified supporting practice that steers the “meaningful shaping” of the interventions foundational for agricultural practices.

Ensuring effective accountability mechanisms will be a pre-requisite for achieving food and nutrition security and thus, advancing the progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2). Here we discuss and summarise the findings of the ONE Campaign-facilitated accountability working group for data users, which deliberated between November 2015 and February 2016, and involved expert consultations from civil society organisations, research institutions, and academia. We provide an overview of the key challenges identified by data users in relation to nutrition and food security, propose a novel conceptual framework within which these challenges should be analysed, and offer a set of con-crete policy and programmatic recommendations to address the recurrent bottlenecks. The paper con-cludes by providing a summary of key findings within the larger context of relevant global initiatives and processes, such as Nutrition for Growth Summit, the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition network, and the United Nations General Assembly.

In recent decades food banks have become a worldwide response to the contradicting the coexistence of food losses and waste, on the one hand, and hunger and food insecurity on the other. In Brazil, food banks had a rapid expansion, becoming the object of public policy on Food and Nutrition Security and of non-profit private institutions. Our study presents an unprecedented overview of all the food banks currently active in the Brazilian territory, discussing their performances and perspectives. We conducted descriptive research, aiming to characterize the number, spatial distribution, performance, and modalities of operation of the Brazilian food banks. We mapped 217 active food banks and they all participated in the study. The results revealed the important capillarity of the food banks, which exist in all 27 Brazilian federative units, but also demonstrate the potential and need for expansion. Most of the Brazilian food banks has commercial establishments as their largest donor partners and have fruits and vegetables as their most donated items. They mostly complement the feeding of families at social risk and children served by social institutions. Food and nutrition education actions are offered by all the studied units to donor partners and beneficiary institutions and families.

Although the amount of Indonesian cocoa production is quite high, but the volume of cocoagrinding is still relatively low compared to the potential that should be obtained. Therefore, Indonesia should improve the cocoa processing industry sector.This research was intended to: analyze the implementation of each component of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) at Smallholder Cocoa Processing Center (PPKR) of Jembrana in accordance with Agriculture Minister’s Regulation No. 35/Permentan/OT.140/7/2008; analyze the efficiency level of the use of costs at PPKR Jembrana. The research results showed that the level of GMP implementation based on Agriculture Minister’s Regulation No.35/Permentan/OT.140/7/2008 at PPKR Jembrana was still partial (47%). In the one year production, the use of costs at PPKR Jembrana was efficient indicated by the value of R/C>1, but the value was resulted by subsidized cost structure (cost of raw materials/cocoa seeds, employee salaries, depreciation of equipment, machinery depreciation, building depreciation, property and building taxes, electricity cost, and water cost). If subsidies were removed, the value of efficiency would drop even become inefficient. By the whole implementation of GMP, the inefficient costs in form of process failure cost and product return cost can be reduced, so the efficiency of the costs use will increase.

Street food selling is largely an informal nature of enterprise which is a common practice all over the world. In the third world countries, this normally unregulated practice is mainly used in solving socio-economic shortcomings through the provision of ready-to-eat meals at affordable prices as well as a means of providing employment. Street vended foods are readily available in many forms that the consumers can choose from, depending on their tastes and preferences, and also their affordability. Due to this, these foods, in one way or another, and directly and indirectly, can significantly influence human nutrition, food security and safety. Current literature indicates that increased consumption of street vended foods can immensely contribute to provision of nutrients and availability of food to millions of people worldwide. Of greatest importance in the current developments in street foods is the fact that they have been identified as probable means for micronutrient fortification in an effort to prevent nutritional deficiency diseases. These foods though, have potential risks to the consumers in terms of food safety issues linked to them. In the developing countries for instance, they are usually prepared under unhygienic conditions with little or no regard to food hygiene, a situation that often exposes the consumers to microbiological and chemical hazards that can have detrimental health effects in their lives. There is therefore an urgent need to promote food safety practices in the production and consumption of street vended foods, particularly in the developing countries where levels of hygiene standards are questionable, in order to ensure that the health of the consumers is safeguarded, and at the same time ensuring provision of nutritious, healthy and affordable foods that are easily accessible to all.

Current Stage

China’s Belt and Road Initiative could be treated ambiguously. On the one hand, it is intended to transform the newly acquired economic potential of that country into its higher status in the world. China invites a lot of nations to build up gigantic transit corridors by joint efforts, and doing so it applies productively its capital and technologies. International transactions in RMB are also being expanded. But, on the other hand, the Belt and Road Initiative is also a necessity for China to cope with some evident problems of its current stage of development, such as industrial overcapacity, overdependence on imports of raw materials from a narrow circle of countries, and a subordinate status in global value chains. For Russia participation in the Belt and Road Initiative may be fruitful, since the very character of that project provides us with a space to manoeuvre. By now, Russian exports to China consist primarily of fuels and other commodities. More active industrial policy is needed to correct this situation . A flexible framework of the Belt and Road Initiative is more suitable for this objective to be achieved, rather than traditional forms of regional integration, such as a free trade zone.
