台灣觀光夜市與美食街食品衛生自主管理輔導成效分析

本研究之目的在經由輔導台灣的北、中、南、東四區，著名觀光夜市及美食街業者實行「衛生自主管理」，以符合「食品良好衛生規範」的準則，並探討未來觀光夜市與美食街衛生自主管理重點。透過實地訪查，問卷調查，以自願接受輔導業者為對象進行實地輔導。在136家接受輔導的業者中，有105家通過輔導。輔導結果發現，輔導後在「從業人員衛生管理」、「環境衛生管理」、「器具與設備衛生管理」、「原物料管制」以及「製程與品質管制」等五大構面缺失指標皆有顯著改善（p＜0.001）。而最常見的缺失前5名依序為：「作業交叉汙染問題」；「食物儲存管制不當」；「未定期做員工健康檢查」；「攤位環境衛生問題」及「未著工作衣帽」等。經過完整的衛生自主管理輔導後，前五大缺失皆有顯著改善（p＜0.05）。

Food vendors in night markets or food courts are favorite choices for tourists or city residents to spend their leisure time. The aim of this study was to investigate of counseling of food vendors of the tourist night markets and food courts to implement ＂food hygiene self-management＂ to comply with ＂good hygiene practices＂ guidelines. The range encompassed famous tourist night markets and food courts in four regions of Taiwan. Suitable districts were selected by on-site visits and enrolling the voluntary vendors as counseling subjects. The counseling program evaluation criteria involved five benchmarks: ＂employee health examinations＂, ＂environmental sanitation management＂, ＂appliances and equipment hygiene management＂, ＂the control of food materials＂ and ＂the control of preparation processes and food quality＂. Assessment tasks were performed by the inspectors of local health authorities and academic experts after on-site visits counseling and a sanitation workshop. There were 136 vendors in this study, and 105 passed the assessment in this project. After half of the counseling program, there were significantly improvements in five benchmarks of the food hygiene self-management (p＜0.05). The top five weaknesses of vendors in this investigation consisted of ＂cross-contamination issues＂, ＂inappropriate food storage control＂, ＂lack of employee's health examination＂, ＂poor environmental sanitation of the food stall＂, and ＂not wearing coveralls when they work＂. The results can provide the local health authorities and vendors ways to improve critical sanitation management.
