Abstract

The present work, with descriptive quantitative content, sought an analysis of hygienic-sanitary compliance of family agroindustries, producers of dairy products, in Rio Grande do Sul. In family agroindustrial units, owners routinely carry out production quality control, so an assessment of the conformity of their entire production cycle helps to reduce losses, related to health or economic, to the consumer and to the agroindustries adds a value invaluable to the product coming from all productive effort. In this context, a check list was applied, divided into 5 groups, into 10 agroindustrial units with the purpose of quantifying the conformities. By the analysis, the mean compliance by study group was 47.18%, and 55.03% was the overall mean of the groups. Still, in the individual analysis of the agroindustries, following the criterion of classification of the establishment according to its attended items, group 1 (76% -100%), group 2 (51-75%), group 3 (0-50%), no property was classified in group 1, seven agroindustries were placed in group 2 and three in group 3. In view of these results, organizational improvements within agroindustries, introduction of a workers' health program, improvements in facilities such as the screens at the doors and adaptation of the air conditioning of the environments, raw material control, final product quality and packaging, implementation of a documentary program of all the activities developed, provide the sanitary improvement of the products, generating greater food security and credibility to the producers.
