This study investigated the good hygiene practices and handling (GHPH) and the infrastructure (IS) conditions of eight restaurants and seven street vendors located in University City Armando de Salles Oliveira of the University of São Paulo (UCASO-USP), using an exploratory and qualitative approach through the application of checklists. We concluded that the UCASO-USP food establishments showed acceptable compliance rates with GHPH and appropriate IS; of the two measures, performance in GHPH proved to be better than the infrastructure. The mobile street vendors analyzed showed better results in meeting the GHPH and IS standards than the fixed restaurants. The results indicated that it is possible for street vendors to maintain sufficiently sanitary conditions so as not to pose a public health risk.Downloads
