Abstract

Seventy samples of homogenized meat produced and sold by a supermarket in Goiânia (GO), were analysed, from February 1996 to October 1997, in order to evaluate their microbiological quality. The microbiological analysis were mesophilic and psychrotrophic plate count, coliforms, fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli most probable number (MPN), Salmonella research, Streptococcus of D group MPN, Staphylococcus (positive coagulase) enumeration and sulfide-reductor clostridia enumeration. In general the results indicated the good microbiological quality of the products. However, three positive samples to Salmonella were found, standing out the necessity of a permanent control, to avoid the transmission and dissemination of foodborne diseases.

KEY-WORDS: Homogenized meat; microbiological quality; foodborne diseases.
