Brasil: enfermedad y formación del personal

“Ley” es una norma vinculante. “Orientación oficial” no es ley, pero los inspectores la esperan. “Chef Hygiene predeterminado” es un valor que la aplicación comprueba cuando ninguna norma especifica un número.

• LeyA person responsible for food handling (the owner or a named employee) with proof of a course on food contaminants, foodborne illness, hygienic handling and Good Practices. Every food handler is trained regularly, and the training is written down. The rule sets no hours and no renewal (RDC 216/2004, 4.6.7 and 4.12).
• LeyEach worker's occupational health exam and certificate (ASO): before starting, then every 2 years, or every year for staff exposed to work risks or with a chronic illness, as the company's occupational doctor (PCMSO) sets (NR-7). Staff who are ill or have wounds that could contaminate food are kept away from food (RDC 216/2004, 4.6).
• Orientación oficialSão Paulo's new state rule (Portaria CVS 3/2026, read only in an unofficial copy; its start may have moved to 1 February 2027, not confirmed) also asks for an 8-hour Good Practices course and yearly stool tests for food handlers.
