GAMBARAN KONDISI HIGIENE DAN SANITASI TEMPAT PENGOLAHAN PEMPEK PADA INDUSTRI RUMAH TANGGA PANGAN (IRTP) DI KELURAHAN 7 ULU KOTA PALEMBANG TAHUN 2025

Latar Belakang : Industri Rumah Tangga Pangan (IRTP) pempek di Kelurahan 7 Ulu Kota Palembang memiliki peran penting dalam penyediaan pangan tradisional sekaligus mendukung perekonomian lokal. Namun, kondisi higiene dan sanitasi tempat pengolahan masih menjadi perhatian karena berpotensi menimbulkan penyakit bawaan makanan. Tujuan : Mengetahui gambaran kondisi higiene dan sanitasi tempat pengolahan pempek pada IRTP di Kelurahan 7 Ulu Kota Palembang Tahun 2025. Metode : Penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel berjumlah 52 penjamah pangan dari 19 IRTP menggunakan teknik total sampling. Data primer diperoleh melalui observasi dan wawancara dengan checklist serta kuesioner, sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari Puskesmas 7 Ulu. Hasil : Mayoritas penjamah pangan berusia 25–42 tahun (73%), berjenis kelamin perempuan (94,2%), dan berpendidikan SMP–SD (67,3%). Lama bekerja sebagian besar ≤10 tahun (86,5%). Kondisi higiene peralatan seluruhnya belum memenuhi syarat (100%). Penjamah pangan sebagian besar berkategori cukup (55,8%),sedangkan prinsip higiene telah memenuhi syarat pada 84,2% IRTP. Dari sisi sanitasi, hanya 52,6% bangunan yang memenuhi syarat dan 42,1% fasilitas sanitasi yang layak. Kesimpulan : Kondisi higiene dan sanitasi di tempat pengolahan pempek IRTP Kelurahan 7 Ulu masih bervariasi, dengan beberapa indikator penting belum terpenuhi. Perlu adanya pengawasan, edukasi, dan pembinaan berkelanjutan untuk meningkatkan kualitas higiene dan sanitasi sesuai standar kesehatan. Saran : Pemilik dan penjamah pangan IRTP pempek disarankan lebih memperhatikan penerapan higiene dan sanitasi sesuai standar yang berlaku, sedangkan petugas kesehatan setempat perlu meningkatkan pembinaan dan pengawasan. Penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan menambahkan variabel lain agar hasil kajian lebih komprehensif.

Background : The Household Food Industry (IRTP) of pempek in 7 Ulu Subdistrict, Palembang City is important for Traditional food provision and local economic support.
