We consider that these current mechanisms which came with technological evolution and accessibility, brought benefits to the new consumer profile, which is provided by the ease in exchanging information and experiences, becoming a demanding profile that seeks lower prices and more quality, and yet for time optimization. Then the objective with this study is to verify how food is reaching consumers' homes after undergoing a handling process, and better understand the consumption and hygiene habits practiced by consumers. For this, the microbiological quality of homemade mayonnaise was analyzed in relation to Salmonella spp and coliforms at 45 ° C, and a questionnaire was applied to understand the habits of food products consumers and how their behaviors are tending to be via delivery in pandemic times, better understanding their eating habits.
