ResumoKitchens for nurseries or educational institutions look more like domestic ones than industrial ones.The structural and sanitary condition (buildings / facilities, equipment and utensils, production, food transportation and documentation) of 16 schools and the profile of 20 food handlers were evaluated.The results obtained regarding the profile of food handlers revealed higher percentages for: female manipulators, with an average of 50 years; incomplete 1st grade; income of 1 minimum wage, 11-30 years of service and, demonstrating inadequate knowledge regarding safe handling.For the sanitary and structural conditions of the schools, the adequacy was low: unfinished ceilings, no screens against insects, using wooden utensils, no hair guards and uniforms, working with decorations, dirty fingernails and talking at the time of preparation.In order to improve sanitary aspects, it is suggested that the Good Manipulation Practices be implemented, creating a safer environment, with monitoring of the activities carried out by the food vendors, as well as structural physical adequacy of food production and distribution spaces, in order to guarantee the safe offer of them.
