Introduction: The Family Farming Fair mass event offers cheeses and meat sausages processed in family agribusiness in Rio Grande do Sul. In many editions of the Fair, health inspectors found recurring inadequacies in the marketing of these products. Objective: In order to innovate the conduct of Sanitary Surveillance in food in reducing risks, to create an instrument called “prior communication” with exhibitors, to be applied and evaluated as a health education resource. Method: The “prior communication” was written reaffirming the co-responsibility between the Surveillance and exhibitors for consumers’ health, as well as the inadequacies observed in previous editions. In the 2016 and 2017 editions, three months before the event, it was sent to the exhibiting agribusiness. To measure the influence of the instrument in reducing inadequacies, part of Annex II of RDC / Anvisa 43/2015 was used. Results: By comparing the inadequacies of the years 2014/15 with those of 2016/17, we find the following examples: the raw materials transported, stored and preserved, including temperature, from 62.50% of the stands decreased to 5.71% in 2016 and 14.21% in 2017; the temperature of the food kept in the exhibition and distribution equipment of 75.00% of the stands decreased to 60.00% in 2016 and 3.57% in 2017; the labeling item of 62.50% of the stands increased to 0% in 2016 and 2017. Conclusion: The instrument influenced the reduction of risks in the food commercialization.
