Brazylia: inspekcje żywności

In Brazil the app follows ANVISA's Good Practices rule for food services, RDC 216/2004, the federal minimum for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, snack bars and every other food service. Each state's and city's health surveillance (vigilância sanitária) applies it and may add stricter rules, so you choose your state when you sign up. Chef Hygiene keeps your daily records; it does not license your business, and it is not approved by ANVISA, any state or city health surveillance, or any fire brigade.

Organ inspekcyjny

The health surveillance (vigilância sanitária, VISA) of your state or city, under ANVISA's Good Practices rule for food services (RDC 216/2004)

The health surveillance (vigilância sanitária, VISA) of your state or city inspects food businesses and issues the local health licence (alvará or licença sanitária): ask your city. ANVISA, the national health surveillance agency, writes the federal rule.

Inspectors check RDC 216/2004: the Manual de Boas Práticas and the 4 POPs (cleaning of the premises, equipment and furniture; pest control; cleaning of the water tank; staff hygiene and health), approved, dated and signed by the person responsible; the records; the temperatures; the person responsible's course and the staff's training. Breaking it is a sanitary offence under Lei 6.437/1977: a warning, seizure of food, closing the business, cancelling its licence, or a fine from R$ 2,000 (light) up to R$ 75,000, R$ 200,000 (serious) and R$ 1,500,000 (very serious), doubled for a repeat offence. States and cities may fine under their own health codes too; we did not confirm those amounts.
