Abstract
Municipal markets began to be built more than 90 years ago in Ecuador, some have already been remodeled and there are also new buildings with modern designs but within them, the process of selling rice in bulk remains in this XXI century. The object of study of this work is the market "Las Manuelas" located in the province of Guayas in the canton of Duran. The method of selling bulk rice exposes this product to some types of food hazards, so the aim of this research is to determine the index of the criticality of the activities related to this long-lasting process that is currently being promoted as a process that does not pollute the environment. The observation technique was applied to make the food circulation diagram and the AMEF methodology was used to obtain the criticality index (CI) and according to the decision tree of the World Health Organization, the critical control points were established. Results obtained showed that the activity of storage and dispatch of bulk rice within the municipal market presented the highest ICs, under these parameters the importance of establishing preventive actions that could give a turn to this type of business.
