Sumario:ABSTRACT. de Carvalho R.R., Miranda Z.B., Fonseca A.B.M. & de Mesquita E. de F.M. [Meat consumption and sanitary information in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil]. Segurança alimentar: percepção e informações sanitárias no consumo de carnes no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária, 35(1):55-62, 2013. Departamento de Zootecnia e Desenvolvimento Agrossocioambiental Sustentável, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Rua Vital Brazil Filho, 64, Vital Brazil, Niterói, RJ 24230-340, Brasil. E-mail: raul_carvalho@uol.com.br This research was based on a survey among meat consumers in the period from 2008 to 2009. It was used 913 questionnaires, 656 in Niteroi and 257 in San Francisco of Itabapoana, districts of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, selected by their development indices particularly the IDHM. The questionnaires consisted of 16 questions with subdivisions in some of them where it was inquired about the consumer profile, their habits, choices and knowledge of the meat as food. Data were treated statistically revealing that the most consumed meat in the two cities is bovine meat, with a percentage of 36.6% and 52.5%, followed by poultry with 34.6% and 23%, by fish with 2.6% and 7,8% and swine with insignificant rates of 0.3% and 0%, respectively for Niteroi and San Francisco of Itabapoana. Other data was measured: knowledge of competence and action of the sanitary inspection agencies in the three spheres of government. The result was threatening due to the misinformation of these issues with negative indices as follows: for SIF 51% and 72.8%, for SIE 83.2% and 96.9%, and for SIM 92% and 99.2%, respectively, concerning Niteroi and San Francisco of Itabapoana districts. However, Municipal Health Surveillance is presented as an activity rather internalized by the interviewers on who takes care of public health issues in the district.
