In Guarujá, São Paulo, the Sanitary Surveillance has issued a total of 21 fines to food trucks operating on the city's beaches as part of the Summer Operation, which began in December and will continue until March. This initiative aims to address health code violations and ensure that businesses adhere to sanitation standards expected during the peak summer tourist season. The enforcement efforts are focused primarily on food service providers to protect consumer health during visits to local beaches.

On a recent Sunday, four food trucks at Praia da Enseada were inspected, leading to nine new fines. These inspections revealed multiple infractions, including poor hygiene practices, inadequate food storage refrigeration, and concerns regarding the cleanliness of food preparation areas. Among the 21 total fines, two establishments were ordered to close temporarily due to significant violations, highlighting the strict approach taken by local authorities to enforce health regulations.

In addition to food safety violations, other issues identified included improper use of gas, fire extinguishers, and insufficient pest control measures. The operation reflects a proactive approach by local authorities to ensure that both residents and tourists can safely enjoy the beaches and local food offerings during the busy summer months.
