A total of 150 samples including raw cow's milk, pasteurized milk, small scale ice cream, large scale plain and flavored yoghurt (30 of each) were collected randomly from dairy shops, super markets and small scale ice cream producers in Fayoum city, Egypt and examined for sanitary and microbiological status. The result revealed that the mean value of titratable acidity % in plain and flavored yoghurt were 1.41± 0.02 and 1.67± 0.04, respectively. The mean values of total Coliforms were 7.5×10⁵± 3.9×10⁵, 8.25×10²± 5.04×10², 8.2×10⁴± 4.1×10⁴, 4.83×10² ± 3.15×10² and 2.72×10³± 9.5 ×10² cfu/mlorg., respectively. While the mean values of Faecal coliforms were 2.8×10⁴± 1.5×10⁴, 1.16×10² ± 7.11×10, 1.02×10³ ±1.71×10², 2.01×10± 1.07×10 and 3.13×10²± 1.30×10² cfu/mlorg., respectively. The mean values of E.coli were1.38×10³± 6.89×10²,1.84×10 ± 9.5, 4.87×10²±1.18×10², 1.36×10± 8.4 and 4.68×10± 1.50×10 cfu/mlorg. The mean values of Enterococci were 1.12×10⁶± 1.29×10⁵, 2.1 ×10³± 4.20×10², 1.1 ×10⁶ ±1.87×10⁵, 2.23×10³± 6.29×10² and 7.77×10³±1.67×10³ cfu/mlorg., respectively. Staph. aureus was detected in the examined raw cow's milk and small scale ice cream samples, with the mean values of 1.98×10⁵ ± 3.91×10⁴ and 7.65×10⁴ ± 2.41×10⁴ cfu/mlor g., respectively, but was not detected in the other samples. Total yeasts  and moulds were detected in the examined large scale plain and flavored yoghurt samples with mean values of  1.15×10²± 3.59×10 and 4.48×10²± 8.17×10 (cfu/mlor g.), respectively.
