Análise das decisões de processos administrativos sanitários aplicadas pela vigilância sanitária em restaurantes e similares de uma capital brasileira

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the decisions of sanitary administrative proceedings established by the sanitary surveillance of a Brazilian capital in restaurants and similar. Data were collected online in the official gazette where decisions are published, from 2015 to 2020. The results found 116 cases: 16.4% in 2015, 40.5% in 2016, 24.1% in 2017, 9.5% in 2018, 4.3% in 2019 and 5.2% in 2020. In isolation, were applied 43 warnings and 18 fines, in addition to 23 case filings. Fines and warnings penalties were also applied cumulatively with other penalties, resulting in 23 cases of warnings and 9 cases of fines. The most applied penalties in restaurants and similar in the studied municipality are warning, the less serious one, and fine, but there are more filings than fines. The results show that the publicity of case decisions is important, but for a better evaluation that considered application of the penalty according to the degree of risk, it would be necessary to publish the registered infractions.
