The food safety has become a major issue in hospitals, since patients are especially vulnerable to foodborne illness considered as nosocomial infection.Aims: To assess health hazards in food at a hospital in Fez city (Morocco).Material and Results: Hygienic quality of food samples (n = 81: meals (40%), plants and vegetables (35%); meat / meat products (17%)) and contact surfaces (n = 80: local (32,5;%), equipment (50%) and staffâ€™s hands (17,5%)) was evaluated during 2011, and involved germs have been researched using standard methods. Results interpreted according to the Moroccan and French standards showed that the percentage of foodâ€™s non-compliance was 12%, with 32% for plants / vegetables and 7% for meat / meat products.The criminalization of fecal coliform was the important (91%) compared with Staphylococcus aureus (9%). Salmonella sp., Listeria monocytogenes, anaerobic sulphito-reducers, yeasts and molds were not implicated.Contact surfaces analysis showed that 40% of equipment, 38% of local and 29 % of the staffâ€™s hands were not clean. The causative organisms were fecal coliforms (60%) and S. aureus (40 %).Conclusion: Contact surfaces may affect the hygienic quality of food served in the hospital. That could make the warning signal in hospitals for the establishment of a global quality policy to ensure food safety and to prevent healthcare associated infections.
