Abstract
A grand total of 75 random samples of meat products were collected from different local supermarkets classified into 25 samples each of frozen minced meat, beef burger and luncheon, these products were subjected to organoleptic evaluation, determination of Aerobic plate count, Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus aureus counts and incidence and serologically identification of E.coli count as well as isolation of salmonellae isolates. Results revealed that minced meat contained the higher mean values of APC (CFU/g) (3.3× 105±1.6× 105 ), while the lower one was reported in beef burger (1.6× 104±9.7× 103), E.coli count in beef burger products revered higher incidence (20%). While the lower incidence (12%) was in minced meat. in addition, the incidence of isolated E.coli serotypes from minced meat was ( 16% ) , while the incidence of beef burger and luncheon were (12%) of each. Furthermore total staphylococcus count was higher in minced meat (0. 2x102± 0. 13x102 ) and lower in luncheon (
