Each sample was packed in plastic bag and transferred immediately to the laboratory in an icebox with a minimum period of delay to be examined organoleptically, bacteriologically and chemically. Organoleptic evaluation, regarding color, odor and taste, the percentages of undesirable samples were 28%, 28% and 24%, 20%, 20% and 16%, 24%, 20% and 24% and16%, 16% and 24% of minced meat, beef burger, luncheon and sausage, respectively.  Bacteriologicalevaluation, regarding minced beef, the mean values of APC, Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus aureus count was 3.3x105,  4.27x103 and 0.2x102,respectively and the number of positive samples to E.coli and salmonella was 4 and 3. Regarding beef burger, the mean values of APC, Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus aureus count was 1.6x104,  7.12x102 and 0.1x102 , respectively and the number of positive samples to E.coli and salmonella was 3 and one.
