Abstract

The consumption of meat and meat products can pose consumers into risk due to the presence of biological hazards that can cause foodborne diseases. Thus, this study aimed to compare the microbiological quality of illegal and inspected salami sold in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. For this purpose, 80 salami samples (40 illegal and 40 inspected) were purchased and their microbiological quality was assessed according to the protocol established by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. All samples were considered as acceptable for consumption according to the Brazilian law. However, the samples of illegal salami were significantly higher contaminated with bacteria belonging to the genus Staphylococcus (p = 0.002) and had a higher trend to be contaminated with total coliforms (p = 0.08) and thermotolerant ones (p = 0.07) compared to inspected salami. Salmonella spp. and coagulase-positive Staphylococcus were not detected. In conclusion, although all samples were considered as safe for consumption, illegal salami had a worse microbiological quality when compared to inspected ones.

非法与检验腊肠的微生物质量比较

由于存在可引起食源性疾病的生物危害，肉类和肉制品的消费可使消费者面临风险。因此，本研究旨在比较在巴西圣保罗州销售的非法和检验的意大利腊肠的微生物质量。为此目的，购买了80份腊肠样品(40份为非法样品，40份为检查样品)，并根据巴西卫生部制定的议定书对其微生物质量进行了评估。根据巴西法律，所有样品均可接受食用。然而，非法腊肠样品中葡萄球菌属细菌的污染明显高于检验腊肠(p = 0.002)，总大肠菌群(p = 0.08)和耐热大肠菌群(p = 0.07)的污染趋势明显高于检验腊肠。未检出沙门氏菌和凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌。综上所述，尽管所有的样品都被认为是安全的，但与检验过的相比，非法腊肠的微生物质量更差。
