o:263 Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend en This research aimed to investigate the efficiency of sanitary procedures (cleaning, washing, disinfection) applied on food contact surfaces and food handlers’ hands in one retail chain in Serbia. For that reason, a total of 364 swabs of food contact surfaces and 86 food handlers’ hand swabs were investigated for microbiological parameters of process hygiene. The results showed that 15.66% (57 of 365) swabs of food contact surfaces, and 5.81% (5 of 86) swabs from the food handlers’ hands, failed to meet the criteria laid down in the self-control plans of the food business operators. Therefore, continuous training of employees on the proper application of sanitation procedures is essential for efficient GHP and HACCP. 1552099 10.1088/1755-1315/854/1/012041 2022-05-13T10:26:20.349Z 44 yes 46 Jelena Jovanović Institute of meat Hygiene and technology Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend 0000-0003-0301-729X Aleksandra Nikolić Institute of Meat Hygiene and Technology Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend person Ivana Branković-Lazić Institute of meat hygiene and technology Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend person Boris Mrdović Institute of meat hygiene and technology Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend person Mladen Rašeta Instiute of meat hygiene and technology Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend person 0000-0001-9860-6681 Slobodan Lilić Institute of meat hygiene and technology Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend person 0000-0001-8521-3977 Tamara Gerić Instiute of meat hygiene and technology Food contact surfaces and food handler’s hygiene in one Serbian retail chain–estimation and trend person 0000-0002-9303-5231 application/pdf 1213159 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:263 no yes 16 70 92000004 71A01 IOP Conf.
