Abstract: It aimed to evaluate the hygienic-sanitary conditions of meat sold in three public markets in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. A qualitative, observational, descriptive study was conducted to assess the hygienic-sanitary conditions of three municipal public markets. Data collection employed a checklist developed based on ANVISA Resolution RDC No. 216/2004. It was found that all three markets operate within a warehouse-like pavilion subdivided into stalls (“boxes”) where products are sold. In Market 1, the external area was clean; in Market 2, municipal employees were cleaning the surroundings; however, the volume of waste generated by the market exceeded the cleaning capacity. In Market 3, municipal employees were observed cleaning the area around the market, and no garbage was noted in the vicinity. With regard to pest control practices, there was no evidence of a regular pest-control schedule. Market 3 showed the highest degree of compliance with respect to utensils. The transport and receipt of meat for some stalls are handled by the stall owner, and in most cases the meat arrives during the early morning hours. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the meat retail points in the three municipal markets do not comply with the legal requirements for food handling, with serious deficiencies being identified that may compromise product quality and pose risks to consumer health.
