Abstract

This research project is about the implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices in the Dining Room of the Children´s Center of Good Living named ´´Mis Angelitos´´ (´´My Little Angeles´´). It consists of establishing the current situation in the area of food production in order to determine the critical points when cooking in this dining room. This is a descriptive type research whit a transversal axis and the techniques utilized were field and documentary research. A survey was applied to all the people that work in the Children´s Center. The results showed that 100% of the staff does not have adequate clothing, and they do not know about the techniques that should be used to avoid cross contamination. 50% of them do not check feedstock when getting it, and 25% do not know about the techniques for hand washing. By making this Good Manufacturing Practice Handbook, risks in the cooking area will diminish; besides, it will be useful as a permanent information tool to avoid food contamination. For all this, it is recommended that the staff be in permanent training.
