Abstract:

This study has the goal of approaching intervention strategies for the street food segment, based on national and international studies and reports. From the literature, it is observed a broad character of these intervention strategies, including actions directed to sellers, consumers, public human resources and to the development of appropriate technologies. In relation to the vendors, the strategies show the necessity of the activity regulation, the establishment of sanitary regulations, directives or codes and the training of food handlers and vendors. To consumers, the actions comprise mainly the implementation of educational programmes. At public administration sphere the strategies turn to human resources capacitating. Considering the appropriate technologies two possibilities are identified: the construction of specialized street food centers and the improvement of existing stalls. One can conclude that given the increase in sales of street food and the potential sanitary risks inherent to this sector, studies point to strategies to organize this segment, that can subsidize the development of social policies for this area in Brazil.
