Zusammenfassung:Introduction: Street food is an important market segment with an impact on the generation of jobs, income, and appreciation of food culture. However, it poses a challenge for public health because it increases the risk of transmission of pathogens from foodborne disease. Objective: Evaluate the hygienic-sanitary practices of food handlers at fairs and the physical-functional conditions of gastronomy and arts fairs in the city of Niterói/RJ. Method: The descriptive methodology was applied, using a qualitative and quantitative approach. For data collection, two scripts were developed and applied to evaluate the functional conditions of the fairs and the hygienic-sanitary practices of the handlers during sales, and a questionnaire was administered to outline the socioeconomic profile of the workers. Results: 68.1% were women; average income of 3 minimum wages; 51.1% had completed higher education; 46.8% had never taken a Good Food Handling Practices course; 70.5% did not use hair protection; and 86.8% used adornments. In 40% of the fairs visited, there was the presence of animals/vectors, as well as the absence of toilet facilities for handlers. Conclusions: Thus, despite its socioeconomic importance, the street food trade represents a potential health risk. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the hygienic-sanitary training of handlers and improve the environmental conditions of fairs.
