Eating away from home has become a constant habit in today's society and even socio-culturally. The data described reveals the microbiological risks that consumers are subjected to when eating away from home, due to inadequate food handling, lack of application of Good Manufacturing Practices, use of contaminated water and lack of infrastructure at the points where food is sold.
