Microorganisms may naturally present in foods or on the surfaces of foods or occasionally contaminate food products during the manufacturing process. This study surveyed 108 samples of readyto- eat (RTE) processed vegetables and fruit for microbiological tests of hygiene monitoring in 2016. In addition to hygiene indicators, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, pathogenic E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella spp. were also included and examined in each sample. The results showed that the contamination rate of pathogenic microorganism was 13.9% (15 samples). Among them, 13 samples were found Staphylococcus aureus - positive. For the other pathogenic microorganisms such as pathogenic E. coli and Listeria monocytogenes were detected in one and one samples, respectively. None of Bacillus cereus and Salmonella spp. was detected. These results not only demonstrated the condition of microbial quality in food products but also provided specific consultations targeting consumers, food manufacturers, and the government. |
