Abstract

Were analyzed twenty samples of cheese obtained from street vendors, in the city of Uberlândia-MG, during the period from October to November 2006. Microbiological analysis consisted of counts of total and fecal coliforms or thermotolerant, through the MPN (Most Probable Number), where 14 of the samples analyzed (70%) had MPN of total coliforms above 103 MPN/g, and 16 samples analyzed (80%) had MPN of thermotolerantcoliforms above 102 MPN / g. This indicates that the artisan cheeses sold had inadequate sanitary conditions, which represents a health risk to consumers.
