The obtained results indicated that all examined samples had a highly content of microorganisms. The results showed that potato puree sandwiches had the highest counts of T.B.C, Staph.aureus and B.cereus compared with medamis and taamia sandwiches (with or without salad). The value counts of microorganisms on potato puree sandwiches were 2.4x105, 2.8x x105,, 2.8 x104, 17.5 x104 and 8 x105 c.f.u/g in T.B.C, mold & yeast, E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus and B. cereus respectively. Koshary with sauce had higher values counts than koshary without sauce in all investigated microorganisms.
