- Management of food allergens in contract catering: evaluation of the knowledge of employees, verification of labeling compliance and validation of sanitation plansPublication . Freitas, Marisa; Seixas, Andrea; Rebelo, Andreia; Costa, Natália; Costa, CarmenFood allergies have been increasing in recent years, with gluten being one of the most prevalent allergens. Since there is no cure for food allergies, eviction is the best strategy for allergic individuals. Thus, labeling is particularly relevant, enabling susceptible consumers making safe choices without compromising their nutrition. Regulation (EU) No.1169/2011 imposes the allergen declaration of unpackaged food to all food operators. However, the management of allergens in contract catering is difficult due to the random nature of the developed activities, where cross-contamination is probable to occur.
- The impact of work shift on psychosocial risks: a case studyPublication . Seixas, Andrea; Ferreira, Tânia; Vieira da Silva, Manuela; Rodrigues, MatildeThe present study aims to analyse the impact of the work shift in the prevalence of Burnout syndrome, anxiety, depression and stress. This study was conducted in a metal-mechanic industry, covering a total of 175 workers of the production sector, spread over three shifts (morning, afternoon and night). The Burnout syndrome was assessed by the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure and the anxiety, depression and stress were measured through the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS). Results showed that while workers experienced a low level of Burnout and stress, they were found to exhibit higher levels of anxiety and depression. Against expectations, morning shift presented higher levels of psychosocial risks. However, no significant differences were found between the three shifts. These results can be explained by several factors such the age of the workers, years of work or type of employment contract. This study emphasizes the need to implement measures to reduce workers' exposure in the morning shift.
