Implantação de sistema de gestão para a garantia da segurança de alimentos: estudo de caso em um barco camaroneiro

Abstract

The primary production represented by agriculture, livestock and fishing is the basis for establishment of attitudes towards the quality in this area. A raw material obtained with excellence standards is the first step to providing a safe product for consumer. The implementation of quality management system is a factor of growth and business success. A shrimp fishery trawl is a shipping company for capture and storage shrimps, thus necessitating the systems implementation ensure shrimp’s quality and safety, because it’s perishable, high commercial value and export. The objective in this work was to implement a management quality organized, represented by Manual of good handling practices to ensure safety of hygienical-sanitary for shrimp. Used a case study holistic and descriptive in a shrimp fishery trawl. The evidence collection is given through intensive direct observation and documentation. Used as research tools a check-list of Good Manufacturing Practices in establishments products/food suppliers from Sanitary Surveillance National Agency. After the first evaluation, elaborated the Manual of Good Practices on Handling of Fish and guided improvement actions, defining the basic situations that involve the capture and transport with measures to ensure the safe and sanitary quality and the instructions theoretical and practical training to develop operational techniques. Good results was achieved with the Manual as speed in providing service with a reduction in average time of work execution on board around 37,5%, higher prodution volume and profit improvement by reducing the loss by errors in manipulation, and these losses have increased from 0,5% for 0,15% considered a virtually total flow of production. With Manual of Good Practice for Handling Fish observed benefits to shrimp fishery trawl, shaping the quality and indicating ways to control production.
