Summary

Meat samples were collected for bacteriological quality control from markets, butcher's and supermarkets in Conakry. According to European standards, 99% of these samples should have been rejected for high contamination by aerobic flora and sulfito-reducer anaerobic bacteria. In supermarkets only 17.4% of carved meat serving samples and 4% of ground meat samples met bacteriological criteria. Better hygiene conditions during slaughtering and transportation to the retailers are crucial to improve the situation.
