Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the users’ risk practices during meals in food service units. Method: The survey was conducted by observing the practices of users in characteristic self-service food units, according to the checklist proposed by Zandonadi et al (2007). A random sample was chosen. Data analysis consisted in the generation of an index of risk practices by generating a control chart with two standard deviations cutoff. The Chi-Square test from the frequencies of "yes" showed differences between sexes. Results: Comparing the profiles by sex it seems that the highest concentration of risk practices among men appeared, implying that women are more careful with regard to health security acts. Conclusion: The users showed risk practices for food contamination during meals services, and in some situations the risk is very significant, especially among men.
