A total of 72 samples of luncheon meat were randomly collected from different retail outlets in Giza city, Egypt. The samples were examined chemically for moisture content, total ash content and thiobarbituric acid (TBA); and microbiologically for the count of total aerobes, total mould and yeast, psychrophilic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella and Shigella. As well, most probable number (MPN) count was performed for coliform and E. coli. The mean values of moisture content, total ash content and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) for the examined samples were 59.84%, 3.43% and 0.64 mg/kg, respectively. For total aerobes, total mould and yeast, Psychrophilic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella and Shigella the mean values were 5.48, 3.91, 4.07, 2.34, 3.87 and 0 log cfu/g sample, respectively. The MPN count of coliforms varied greatly in positive samples from 6.20 to 460 and from 3 to 43 MPN/g sample respectively. According to the Egyptian standards, most of the examined samples (100%) had Salmonella and Shigella values complied with limits of the standard. As for total aerobic, Staphylococcus aureus total mould and yeast counts 79.19, 90.27 and 19.4% of the examined samples were not complied with the standards. The results declared that the hygienic quality of luncheon meat available in Giza retail markets is not satisfactory and not comply with the standards.
