Bacteriological examination recorded mean values of total Aerobic Plate Count, Total Enterobacteriaceae and total Coliform counts of frozen chicken were 1.6× 106, 3.3×104 and 1.3×103 cfu/g respectively. The incidence of Staph. aureus, Enteropathogenic E-coli and Salmonella species in frozen chicken samples were 20,16 and 6% respectively. The pH and TVB-N were within the permissible limits. The examined samples had a normal values of cadmium (cd), lead (pb), copper (cu) and Mercury (Hg) (the mean values were 0.005, 0.0022. 0.954 and 0.085 mg/g Respectively) and were analized by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers.
