Transitional foods for infants and children of early childhood, also popularly known as baby-food, are used in order to complement the diet, gradually introducing new sources of nutrients to children in the weaning phase. The objective is to evaluate the chemical and biochemical quality of transitional foods for infants and young children such as vegetable and meat baby-food (VMBF) and vegetable and chicken baby-food (VCBF). 20 samples of VMBF and VCBF were analyzed. The levels of nitrate, sodium, pH, macronutrients (protein, lipid and carbohydrate), total caloric value (TCV), humidity, fixed mineral residue (FMR) and solid matter (SM) were determined in duplicate. The results showed that the two types of baby-food (VMBF and VCBF) did not show statistical differences (p > 0.05). Regarding the current legislation, it was found that 100% of the samples of VMBF and VCBF presented within the reference values for the pH and SM tests. The VMBF samples showed percentages of 25%, 100%, 25% and 25% for the nitrate, sodium, protein and TCV assays that were outside the permitted values, respectively. The samples of VCBF, however, presented percentage indexes of 40%, 80% and 40% for the tests of nitrate, sodium and protein outside the established reference standards, respectively. It is concluded that the high levels of nitrate and sodium are worrisome, being necessary the active inspection by Organs regulating agencies in relation to these foods due to its importance in child development.

Fresh Minas cheese is na originally Brazilian product widely consumed by the population, which manufacture is, generally, of small scale and with little technology. The hygienicsanitary condition of production is the first step in the manufacture of a product that guarantees food safety for consumers. Based on this, the need for information about food safety during processing was the premise for the present study, which aimed to conduct a survey on the hygienic-sanitary quality of fresh Minas cheese and if these products pose a risk to the consumer. This review was based on articles available in the SciELO database, CAPES journals, PubMed and MEDLINE and other publications of journals in databases in the area of Food Science and Technology and the respective legislation in force. Publications on microbiological quality of fresh Minas cheeses published between the years 2016 to 2020 were selected and in order to guide the research, the following terms were consulted: fresh Minas cheese, microbiological quality, public health, food safety, food pathogens and good manufacturing practices. With this study it was possible to identify that in all articles the evaluated parameters are in disagreement with the quality standards proposed by the current legislation, indicating that producers are not aware or are unaware of good manufacturing practices. Based on the results, it is suggested that producers of fresh Minas cheese adopt effective measures of good manufacturing practices in order to guarantee the safety of the product and the preservation of consumers' health.
