The objective of this research was to conduct a situational analysis of the hygienic–sanitary conditions of food handlers in wholesale markets in downtown Lima. A quantitative study was carried out using a non-experimental, observational, cross-sectional, descriptive design. Data were collected through a sanitary inspection checklist between January and June 2017, which included items such as sanitary habits, presentation of a training certificate in Good Food Handling Practices, and possession of a valid health card. The results show that 78.5% of food handlers do not apply Good Food Handling Practices, 57% present a valid health card, and 46% of food handlers demonstrate inadequate personal hygiene. It is necessary to intensify sanitary inspections, training, awareness, and sensitization of food handlers to ensure compliance with current sanitary regulations. In this way, foodborne diseases could be reduced, thereby lowering risk factors for public health.

Cumplimiento del rotulado según decreto vigente para los productos naturales que se comercializan en un mercado de abastos de Lima Metropolitana en el año 2022

The present research aimed to analyze compliance with the labeling of natural health products according to Supreme Decree No. 016-2011-SA, whose regulation was later amended by Supreme Decree No. 001-2012-SA, which establishes that natural health products are governed by Supreme Decree No. 010-97-SA. This study followed a quantitative approach, was applied in type, with a non-experimental and observational design, and had a descriptive cross-sectional level. The population consisted of natural products marketed in the Hierba Santa 1 and 2 supply markets in the city of Lima, with a sample of 200 natural products from different laboratories, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Data collection was carried out through observation using a checklist as an instrument. The results showed that 99% did not comply with correct labeling according to Supreme Decree No. 010-97-SA, while only 1% did comply. Therefore, the findings highlight the weak control of the regulatory entity in these commercial settings, which poses a risk to public health by allowing unsafe products, as well as the delays in improving the regulation of these products by continuing to rely on outdated norms.
