Data of OMS show that foodborne diseases are assessed as the biggest public health problem
worldwide and the handlers referred to as the main contamination vehicles, as their participation reaches
up to 26% of the contaminating sources (LUNDGREN, et al., 2009). Thus, this work aimed to analyze
the hygienic-sanitary and physical-variable conditions in the area of manipulation of proteins of animal
origin in natura, in a public market in the municipality of Coari-AM. They were analyzed as hygienic
conditions and physical structure through a descriptive observatory field study, used as a tool, a
Checklist prepared according to RDC nº 275/2002. An area of manipulation and commercialization of
animal proteins in natura on the market is not in compliance with the resolution, as throughout the
investigation there were several irregularities. It is known, however, that it is of fundamental importance
to guarantee the quality of proteins in compliance with current legislation with regard to the correct
handling of food. As a result, commercialized products will not become sources of infections transmitted
by poorly handled and / or commercialized foods. In addition, it was observed that in the market
researched there is a need for public policies aimed at health issues, in order for hygienic-sanitary and
physical conditions to alter the researched location.
