Infections occurring after ingestion of food or water contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms or toxins. Although meat is a food rich in nutrients, it can be like a culture media for microbial growth. The aim of this study was to quantify the indicators of hygienic quality and detect the presence of Salmonella sp. in samples of grounded beef sold in northwestern of Rio Grande do Sul State. This work used the methodology described by APHA 2001. The samples were collected at points of sale, packed in cool boxes and transported to the Laboratory of Microbiology UFSM, Palmeira das Missões Campus. All the 14 samples of ground beef analyzed were contaminated with total coliforms and termotolerant coliforms, indicating poor hygienic conditions in the processing procedure. Counts of E. coli were present in 85.71% of the samples, and in 14.28% was detected Salmonella spp. representing a serious risk to the health of the consumer population. The results suggests there is need of a greater oversight by the government organs, as well as provide training for food handlers in order to reduce the contamination levels and the risk that people may be exposed to.
