"Freezing preserves food by stopping the growth and multiplication of microbes or by halting the foods own enzyme\r\nactivity that would otherwise cause the food to rot. There have been reports of illness involving frozen foods due to\r\ncontamination post-harvest. This study seeks to investigate the microbial profile of frozen fish and meat. Fifteen\r\nsamples each of Trachurus trachurus, Scomber scombrus, Urophycis tenuis, Clupea harengus and poultry meatchicken,\r\nturkey and gizzard was purchased from different cold rooms and retail stores for microbiological analysis.\r\nColiforms were detected in all the meat samples and with counts ranging from 7.0x103 - 5.0x106. Gizzard and chicken\r\nhad significantly high (P< 0.05) coliform count. The head and intestinal regions of the fish have significantly high (P<\r\n0.05) TAPC compared to the skin. The skin and the head region have significantly high (P< 0.05) coliform and fungi\r\ncounts compared to the intestine. The microbial isolates from the fish and meat samples include S. aureus, E. coli and\r\nspp of Bacillus, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Flavobacterium, Listeria and Pseudomonas. Fungi isolates include spp of\r\nAspergillus, Penicillium and Alternaria. Trichodina and Isopod spp of parasites were detected in some fish samples.\r\nAlthough freezing retard pathogens multiplication, post harvest contaminants can multiply during thawing to a level\r\nthat can have a major impact on the quality of the final consumer product. It is advanced that frozen foods must be\r\nproperly cooked before consumption and effective hazard analysis and critical control point implemented"^^ . "2014" . . "1" . "2" . .
