Abstract

Standard plate count of mesophilic aerobic bacteria indicates the hygienic-sanitary quality of the food. This study aimed to enumerate mesophilic aerobic bacteria in hamburgers sold in formal trade of Niterói-RJ; identifying measured temperatures of refrigerated counters and the temperatures of raw hamburgers exposed in counters; and determining the correlation coefficient of results. Was collected 80 samples of hamburgers. Of the hamburgers analyzed, 43 (53.75%) had counts above the recommended indicating low quality of these products.
