Food safety knowledge and attitudes: investigating the potential benefits of on-site food safety training for folklorama, a temporary food service eventMancini, Roberto January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department: Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology / Douglas Powell / Folklorama in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada is a 14-day temporary food service event that explores the many different cultural realms of food, food preparation, and entertainment. The ethnic nature and diversity of foods prepared within each pavilion presents a unique problem for food inspectors as each culture prepares food in their own very unique way.
In 2010, the Russian pavilion at Folklorama was implicated in a foodborne outbreak of E.coli
O157 causing 37 illnesses and 18 hospitalizations. Both the Department of Health and Folklorama Board of Directors realized a need for implementation of a food safety delivery
program that would be more effective than a simple 2-hour food safety course delivered via
PowerPoint slides. Until 2011, the 2-hour food safety course delivered to event co-ordinators and food operators for Folklorama pavilions was not mandatory. The course is now mandatory in
2011 for all Folklorama pavilions. Five randomly chosen pavilions were trained on-site, in their
work environment, focusing on critical control points specific to their menu. A control group
(five pavilions) did not receive on-site food safety training. Critical infractions noted on
standardized food inspection reports were assessed. Results of the current study suggest no
statistically significant difference in food inspection scores between the trained group and control group. Results imply that the 2-hour food safety course delivered via slides was sufficient to pass public health inspections.

Variáveis influenciadoras das perdas no varejo alimentar / Influencing variables of food service\'s wastePecht, Luis Henrique 31 October 2017 (has links)
Esta dissertação busca entender como ocorrem as perdas no varejo alimentar. Analisaram-se longitudinalmente, diferentes unidades de uma grande rede do setor alimentício, atuando em um setor com mais jogadores,o que traz, invariavelmente, em médio prazo, a necessidade de maior eficiência. Nesse sentido, o impacto das perdas e desperdício nos lucros das empresas e no varejo como um todo, de acordo com indicadores setoriais, é bastante significativo, uma vez que tais perdas ocorrem ao se negociar/comprar, produzir/entregar e vender. Essa situação revela a existência de uma oportunidade para ampliar a eficiência, desse aspecto, da operação comercial. Utilizou-se como forma de mensuração, a diferença entre o custo teórico e o custo apurado após sucessivas contagens de inventário. A seleção das variáveis preditivas analisadas apoiou-se, principalmente no escopo teórico da sociologia e da economia das organizações. Após aplicar a técnica de regressão de dados em painel, variáveis preditivas físicas das unidades e outras, relativas aos funcionários e variáveis sócio demográficas do principal gestor, mostraram-se significativas em explicar os diferentes níveis de perdas. / In this paper, we seek to understand how wastes occur, in the food service industry. Different business units, from a large restaurant chain, were longitudinally analyzed. Considering the fact that more players operate in this growing Brazil industry, invariably it brings the need for greater efficiency, in the medium term. In this sense, the impact of losses or waste on corporate profits, according to industry indicators, is still quite significant, since they occur during all steps of the production/sales chain. This situation reveals the existence of an opportunity to increase the efficiency on the operation\'s field. Waste\'s measurement method applied in this research was the difference between the theoretical cost and the actual cost, based on successive inventory counts. The selection of the candidates\' predictive variables was supported, mainly, by the Sociology and Economics of Strategy fields. After the application of a panel data regression technique, variables related to the store´s physical format, employees profile and the unit main manager\'s socio-demographic were found significant to explain different levels of waste.

Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: A maior preocupacao do consumidor com qualidade dos alimentos torna-o mais atento e exigente quanto aos seus diferentes atributos, em especial, a qualidade nutricional. E importante destacar que a alimentacao fora do lar tem crescido, especialmente nas grandes cidades. Neste sentido, em 1996, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulamentou a rotulagem nutricional em cardapios de restaurantes dos Estados Unidos. No Brasil, esse tipo de regulamentacao nao existe, porem, algumas iniciativas individuais por parte de alguns proprietarios de restaurantes estao surgindo, gerando a necessidade de apoio governamental. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivos a identificacao e caracterizacao, em amostra de restaurantes comerciais, das iniciativas de provimento de informacao nutricional e/ou de saude, avaliacao dos beneficios e obstaculos observados pelos gerentes para disponibilizar esse tipo de informacao e avaliacao do grau de interesse, em adotar futuramente essa medida, pelos gerentes que ainda nao a empregam, assim como suas expectativas quanto aos beneficios e obstaculos decorrentes do oferecimento de informacao nutricional e/ou de saúde em seus estabelecimentos. A pesquisa foi realizada no municipio de Campinas ¿ SP, entre outubro e dezembro de 2005. Do total de 107 restaurantes fast food e 507 restaurantes full service, divididos segundo as cinco regioes de Campinas, foram entrevistados, com base em amostragem aleatoria estratificada, 20 e 94 gerentes de cada tipo de estabelecimento, respectivamente. Apos a coleta das informacoes, foi construido um banco de dados utilizando o software Excel. As analises estatisticas envolveram o teste do qui-quadrado, o teste t de Student e o teste ANOVA, seguido do teste de medias de LSD (Least Square Difference). Os softwares estatisticos utilizados para a elaboracao das analises foram o XLSTAT versao 2006.06 e o MINITAB versao 14.2. Entre os principais resultados destaca-se que em 25,4% dos restaurantes se disponibiliza informacao nutricional e/ou de saude. A frequencia de oferecimento dessas informacoes e significativamente maior entre as redes de fast food do que entre os restaurantes full service. Na opiniao dos gerentes, em relacao ao grau de importancia dos beneficios e obstaculos decorrentes do oferecimento de informação nutricional e/ou de saude, o fator ¿aumentar o faturamento¿ apresentou-se como o beneficio menos importante e o fator ¿falta de receitas que detalhem os ingredientes e as respectivas quantidades¿, como um dos obstaculos mais importantes. Para os gerentes que nao aplicam a informacao nutricional e/ou de saude em seus estabelecimentos, o fator ¿melhorar a imagem do servico de alimentacao¿ e o beneficio esperado de maior importancia e, entre os obstaculos, o fator ¿aumento do custo de operacionalizacao¿ e a preocupacao maior entre eles. Ha necessidade de se conceber a regulamentacao das informacoes nutricionais e de saude pelo poder publico levando-se em conta caracteristicas especificas dos servicos de alimentacao. Ja que o aumento de custo e relatado como um dos obstaculos mais importantes na manutencao da informacao nutricional e/ou de saude em restaurantes, incentivos deveriam ser criados pelas autoridades publicas com vistas a encorajar os proprietarios desses estabelecimentos a adotarem tal politica / Abstract: The greater concern about food quality has made consumers more attentive and demanding with respect to the various food attributes, especially the nutritional quality. It is important to emphasize that eating out of home has increased, especially in the larger cities. Thus, in 1996, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulated nutritional labeling in U.S. restaurant menus. In Brazil, this type of regulation does not exist, however, some individual initiatives on the part of some restaurants¿ owners is appearing, generating the necessity of governmental support. The present survey has as objectives the identification and characterization, in sample of commercial restaurants, from the provision initiatives of nutritional information and/or health, evaluation of benefits and obstacles observed by managers to make available this type of information and evaluation of the interest level, by adopting it in the future, for those managers who do not follow it, as well as their expectation in relation to the benefits and obstacles decurrently from the nutritional information and/or health offered in the. The survey was carried out in the municipality of Campinas, S.P., Brazil, between October and December of 2005. From a total of 107 fast food restaurants and 507 full service restaurants, divided according to the five regions in Campinas, on the basis of stratified random sampling, twenty and ninety-four managers from each type of establishment, respectively, were interviewed. After collecting the information, a data bank was constructed using the Excel software. The statistical analyses involved the chi-square test, Student t-test and ANOVA, followed by the LSD means test (Least Square Difference). The statistical softwares used for the elaboration of the analyses were the XLSTAT version 2006.06 and MINITAB version 14.2. It is highlighted among the main results that in 25,4% of the restaurants nutritional information and/or health is made available. The frequency of offering such information was significantly higher amongst the fast food chains than amongst the full service restaurants. In the opinion of managers, in relation to the level of importance of benefits and obstacles decurrently from the nutritional information and/or health offered, the factor "increase the revenues" was presented as the benefit less important and the factor "lack of recipes that details the ingredients and the respective amounts", as one of the obstacles most important. For the who do not apply the nutritional information and/or health in the establishments, the factor "improve the image of the catering service" is the benefit of higher importance expected and, among the obstacles, the factor "increase the operational cost" is the greatest concern among them. There is a need for the public authorities to conceive regulation of the policy of providing nutritional and health information, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the catering services. Since the cost increase is stated to be as one of the obstacles most important in the maintenance of the nutritional information and/or health in restaurants, incentives should be created by public authorities with sights to encourage the owners of these establishments to adopt such a policy / Doutorado / Consumo e Qualidade de Alimentos / Doutor em Alimentos e Nutrição

Formas híbridas e food service: uma análise da alocação de autoridade em franquias de alimentação no Brasil / Hybrid forms and food servisse: an analyses of authority allocation on food franchise chains in BrazilDolnikoff, Fabio 26 March 2015 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como objetivo propor um modelo econômico para os determinantes da alocação de autoridade em cadeias franqueadas no Brasil no setor de alimentação fora do lar - food service. Baseando-se no aporte teórico da economia neoinstitucionalista, especialmente na linha teórica desenvolvida por Claude Ménard (2004; 2010) para o estudo das formas híbridas, foi aplicado um estudo de múltiplos casos com foco em uma hamburgeria, uma pizza delivery e uma cafeteria, em que se procurou discutir a hipótese de que um aumento na complexidade no ponto de venda (lojas que demandam grande esforço operacional) levaria à descentralização do arranjo franqueado. Observou-se que a complexidade no ponto de venda realmente influencia a alocação de direitos de propriedade dos arranjos, mas no sentido contrário ao esperado, ou seja, no sentido da centralização. Tal centralização foi caracterizada por uma integração de determinadas tarefas básicas e pelo aumento do controle efetivo exercido pelas franqueadoras sobre as tarefas que continuaram sendo compartilhadas com as lojas franqueadas. / This work intends to propose an economic model reflecting the determinants of authority allocation on food service franchise chains in Brazil. Drawing on the New Institutional Economics framework and, in particular, on the hybrid forms approach by Claude Ménard (2004; 2010), a multiple case study has been conducted on a hamburger fast food restaurant chain, a pizza delivery chain and a special coffee shop chain, discussing the hypothesis that: the more outlet complexity increases (stores that demand high operational effort), the more decentralized the chain should be. Results show that outlet complexity is indeed a determinant of the allocation of property rights, although in the opposite direction, i.e. towards centralization. Such centralization was characterized as a mix of: vertical integration over key tasks and of an increase in the effective control over the remaining tasks that kept being shared with franchisees.

THE EFFECTS OF THE USDA SUMMER FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM ON RURAL ADOLESCENTS’ NUTRITION ATTITUDES, KNOWLEDGE, BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS AND NUTRITION BEHAVIORSHarrington, Mary Rachel 01 January 2019 (has links)
Rural adolescents suffer from poor nutrition, increasing their risk for obesity and other chronic diseases. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), an off-shoot of the National School Lunch Program, provides meals to qualifying children, including low-income, rural adolescents, under the age of 18. The purpose of this study was to: 1) examine the impact of the SFSP on the nutrition–related knowledge, self-reported fruit and vegetable (SRFV) consumption, and the constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intentions) of rural, low-income adolescents; and 2) examine the relationship between nutrition behaviors (quality food selection and consumption) and participation in the SFSP using digital photography.
The participants (N = 78) were recruited from those enrolled in the Upward Bound (UB) Summer Program at a mid-sized university that utilized the SFSP. The UB, a federally funded program, provided the opportunity to reach high school students from low-income, rural areas to study the aforementioned effects of the SFSP. The quasi-experimental pre- post-intervention design used a survey (n = 57) to determine predictors of positive nutrition behaviors and digital photography (n = 43) to determine actual food selection and consumption of those enrolled in the SFSP. A nutrition quality scale (0-6, with 6 indicating higher quality) was developed in order to categorize food items within food groups according to their nutritional value, and aided in determining quality of foods selected and consumed.
Paired samples t-test showed a significant increase in knowledge (t(56) = -8.09, p = .000) and SRFV consumption (t(56) = -3.20, p = .002) from pre- to post-intervention. Regression analysis demonstrated that all constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) were significant (F(4, 52) = 14.56, p < .001 with an R2of .53) for predicting behavior intentions, with perceived behavioral control (PBC) being the most salient predictor of intentions to increase fruit and vegetable consumption. A one-way repeated measures MANOVA was not significant for the comparison of pre- and post- survey scores for knowledge, SRFV consumption, and the constructs of the TPB, F (4, 53) = .604, p = .660. Digital photography showed a significant increase in consumption from week 1 (baseline) to week 5 (program completion) for fruit (t(42) = -2.04, p = .048) and milk (t(42) = -3.13, p = .003) at lunch, for milk (t(42) = -3.01, p = .003) at supper, and for milk overall (all three meals combined), t(42) = -3.08, p = .004. Vegetable consumption decreased significantly from week 1 to week 5 t(42) = 2.47, p = .018 at supper and overall (all three meals combined) t(42) = 2.65, p = .011. Two proportion z tests showed a statistically significant decrease in the selection of food items at quality level 2 from week 1 (.34) to week 5, z = 3.11, p = .002, and statistically significant increases in the selection of quality level 3 (.20), z = -2.15, p = .031, and quality level 5 (.17), z = -3.33, p < .000, item. Two proportion z tests showed a statistically significant decrease in the consumption of food items at quality level 5 from week 1 (.62) to week 5, z = 2.94, p = .003. However, the analysis showed no consistent increase in the quality of foods selected or consumed from week 1 to week 5.
Opportunities for shaping adolescent nutrient intake and eating behaviors during and outside of enrollment in the SFSP exist. Reinforcing positive attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control while participants are enrolled in the SFSP may help to increase nutrition behavioral intentions and therefore, nutrition behaviors. Opportunities also exist for offering healthier food options for those participating in the SFSP. SFSP participants are a captive, impressionable group, and providing a supportive social and physical environment, and high nutritional quality choices in the SFSP more often may provide the potential for behavior change that may lead to an increase in healthy nutritious habits for adolescents from rural areas.

Expected food service outputs in an outsourced catering outlet : a student perspective.Mogashoa, Moloti Aaron January 2014 (has links)
M. Tech. Business Administration / Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is an institution of higher learning that was established in 2004 as a result of merger of three independent institutions. TUT Directorate of Accommodation Residence Life and Catering has outsourced the entire university student catering division which includes its restaurants, dining halls, tuck-shops, kiosks and a sports bar. Due to the many and recent student protests against the services delivered by contracted firms, there is a need to gain a better understanding of what, specifically, the students are unhappy about. To this end it is sensible to assess this situation, by means of a survey, which is intended to investigate students' levels of satisfaction with various aspects of the catering division. This study intends therefore, to determine the impact of outsourcing on one university service area, namely, catering, by assessing levels of student satisfaction in this area.
