Abstract

            Foofoo is a fermented wet-paste made from cassava. It is ranked next to garri as an indigenous food of most Nigerians in the South. There is need to determine the microbial content in the processing of foofoo so as to improve the production of foofoo. Three samples of peeled cassava, steep water, steep cassava, pulp mass and processed foofoo was collected from there different processors in Ijebu North Local Government in Ogun State. One sample was collected from Oru market, Mini Campus road and Olopomerin. Eight organisms were isolated namely: lactobaccillus spp., bacillus cereus, staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, penicillium spp. aspergillus niger, candida krusei , fusarium spp and rhizopus spp The range of bacteria count during the processing were 0.69 x 10-3 and 9.68 x10-3. For fungi: 0.01 x 10-3 and 0.48 x 10-3.

             The presence of enteric bacteria in the processing of foofoo poses some potential risk to the consuming public, the need for improvement and maintenance of good hygienic practices by food handlers and vendors is emphasized to avert health hazard to the consumers.
