Zusammenfassung:OBJECTIVE: The study developed a method for controlling the amount of salt and sodium during food preparation, Controlling Salt and Sodium use During Meal Preparation for food services based on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points principles. METHODS: The method was conceived and perfected during a study case in a commercial food service located in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Data were collected from technical cards, recipes and measurements during food preparation. The preparations were monitored and compared with criteria about the use of salt and sodium found in the literature. Critical control points were identified and corrective measures were proposed. RESULTS: The result was a method consisting of 9 stages: (1) determination of the sodium content in the ingredients; (2 and 3) analysis of menu planning and sodium content; (4) follow-up of food preparation; (5) estimate of the amount of sodium used in the preparations; (6 and 7) selection and following of the preparations with average- and high-sodium content; (8) definition of the critical points and establishment of corrective actions for the use of salt and sodium; and (9) creation of recommendations for the use of salt and sodium. CONCLUSION: The Controlling Salt and Sodium use During Meal Preparation may contribute to global discussions regarding the reduction of salt and sodium intakes and collaborate for the supply of nutritionally and sensorially appropriate meals with respect to salt and sodium content. It may also help to prevent non-communicable chronic diseases. OBJETIVO: estudo desenvolveu um método de Controle de Sal e Sódio na Produção de Refeições para o processo produtivo de refeições comerciais e coletivas, com base nos princípios do sistema de Análise de Perigos e Pontos Críticos de Controle. MÉTODOS: O método foi elaborado teoricamente e aperfeiçoado a partir de um estudo de caso realizado em uma unidade de alimentação e nutrição comercial em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Dados foram coletados durante o acompanhamento do processo produtivo de refeições, por meio de medições e registros. As operações foram monitoradas e comparadas com critérios sobre o uso de sal e sódio definido a partir da literatura científica. RESULTADOS: Com a análise das operações foi possível identificar pontos críticos e definir ações corretivas. Como resultado, desenvolveu-se um método composto de 9 etapas de aplicação: (1) levantamento do teor de sódio dos produtos adquiridos, (2 e 3
