In the second stage, a plan of activities was developed for the elaboration of the BPM manual and for its application, training was given to the personnel in charge of the production and administration area. After this, it was verified that regulatory compliance reached 90%, the interviews with the staff showed that the operability was improved and in the microbiological analyzes it was possible to reduce the microbial load in a general way by 4% while the physicochemical were maintained. This confirms that through the investigation the quality of ground roasted coffee was improved in the microenterprise, ensuring food safety.
