Investigating the Microbial Contamination of Chicken Meat Paste in Naghadeh City

Background and aim: The burgers, sausages, and bacon are all prepared using various techniques.MDM (Mechanically Deboned Poultry Meat) is a particular product that is frequently used to make such products.The MDM is really made up of all the chicken leftovers and wastes, including skin, bones, and useless pieces, that are transported to factories in a dirty and unhygienic state and combined together to create MDM (Mechanically Deboned Poultry Meat).The goal of the study is to ascertain the microbiological rate of a substance that will be utilized in food items that people, especially children, consume in large quantities.Materials and Methods: 100 samples of MDM from sausage manufacturing businesses' bone removal machines were obtained.The microbiological characteristics of the MDM samples were evaluated and analyzed in accordance with Iran standard institutions as soon as they were delivered to the laboratory in cold temperature settings.Results: The samples' contamination rates were as follows: Infected samples had the following serotypes of Salmonella: 25% S. gallinarum, 19% S. Typhimorium, 17% S. enteritidis, 15% S. paratyphi A, 15% S. paratyphi C, and 9% S. paratyphi B. There were also 68% Staphylococcus aurous, 62% fermentative, 59% E. coli, 53% various forms of Salmonella, and 21% mustiness.Conclusion: It was evident from counting the colonies that 10% of the samples had contamination rates that were greater than allowed for and beyond the limits.
