Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes has been recognized as major foodborn pathogen especially foods which are not exposed to heat treatment. So a total of 150 samples of raw and cooked ready-to eat meat meals collected from different supermarkets and restaurants were examined for the presence of L. monocytogenes. Out of 30 samples of each raw ground beef, sausage and raw poultry, the positive samples were 9(30%), 4(13.3%) and 14(46.6), respectively. While the organism could not be detected in 40 samples of luncheon. In cooked ready to eat poultry meat the organism
was detected in one sample only (10%) and failed to be detected in 10 samples of grilled kofta. The source of product contamination, thermal and preservative used and public health significance were discussed.
