SUMMARY:

Due to the growing demand for healthy foods, the consumption of vegetables tends to increase. The Southeast region is the largest consumer and producer of vegetables in Brazil, where these vegetables are grown in a conventional, organic and hydroponic way. Although fresh vegetables contribute to consumer health, it is necessary to verify the safety of these foods in the physical, chemical and microbiological scope. Microbiological contamination in fresh vegetables is mainly caused by Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp, which are propellants of Foodborne Diseases. On the other hand, chemical contamination in vegetables is mainly caused by pesticide residues and nitrogen fertilizers. Contaminations can occur due to negligence in the application of Good Agricultural and Manufacturing Practices, compromising the safety of the final product. It is necessary to pay attention to quality tools in order to ensure the safety of fresh vegetables to the final consumer, who can monitor the movement of food in the production chain, from origin to marketing, through plant traceability, which is a tool advocated by ANVISA and MAPA through INC number 2 from February, 2018. The plant traceability allows detecting possible contamination in the food, due to non-compliance of BPAs and/or GMPs. Therefore, this work seeks to diagnose GMPs and GMPs in the production chain of conventional, organic and hydroponic fresh vegetables produced in the region of Médio Paraíba/RJ. For this, a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational case study was carried out, with a quantitative approach, with the application of questionnaires in loco in 53 properties producing fresh vegetables and in 2 agribusinesses of minimally processed vegetables that use local raw material. Microbiological analyzes were carried out for detection of E. coli and Salmonella spp. in lettuce, Thermotolerant Coliforms in irrigation water, Total Coliforms and E. coli in pecking house water and Enterobacteriaceae and Total count of mesophilic aerobics in vegetable packaging boxes. The statistical analysis applied was simple descriptive, with percentage mean and standard deviation performed in the Microsoft Office Excel® version 16 program and to compare the level of compliance of the BPAs between the different cultures, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used using the JAMOVI® softwar.The averages of the conformity scores of the properties were classified in 5 levels, between Very Bad and Very Good, and the Agroindustries between 3 levels, between Good, Regular and Bad, according to the RDC n° 275/2002 of Anvisa. The result showed different levels of compliance with BPAs in the crops, with the conventional one with the lowest average score 38.37, classified as bad. On the other hand, organic crops, with regular classification and hydroponic, classified as good, had an average score of 59,15 and 64,45, respectively. The general average of conformity in the
primary production of the studied region was 54% in the region. Aspects such as the presence of animals in the field, non-performance of management and lack of training contributed to the non-compliance rate. In relation to Agroindustries, the average score of compliance with the GMPs was 66.77, where the documentation item was the one that contributed to the non-compliances. The hygienic-sanitary aspects verified in the lists of GAP and GMP contributed to the disagreement with the microbiological standards of foods, in relation to conventional and minimally processed fresh lettuce. Regarding irrigation water, packing house and agro-industry, only the group of hydroponic producers showed 100% compliance. In addition, the cleaning of plastic vegetable packaging boxes is ineffective, when performed, according to the results of the applied microbiological analysis. This factor can exacerbate the risk of spreading Covid-19 through surfaces. As for chemical contamination, conventional and hydroponic crops need corrective actions to minimize the risk of pesticide residues, which are verified by the vegetable traceability system, which is not significantly applied by local rural producers. In this way, educational actions are necessary, as well as inspection to guarantee the safety of fresh and minimally processed vegetables.
