Abstract
ABSTRACT
Occurrence of microbial contaminants in stale infants foods sold in Nigeria and its health impact on infants was evaluated. Random sampling of processed cereal based food were done in Microbiology Laboratory Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago Iwoye. The total heterophic count ranged from 1.0-7.5 x103cfu/g, total coliform count (1.0 – 2.0 x 103cfu/g) and 1.0 x 103 cfu/g for Salmonella-Shigella count. The bacteria isolated from the samples includes: Escherichial coli, Salmonella spp. and Serratia. Escherichia coli had the highest frequency of occurrence (35%) followed by Serratia (35%) and Salmonella spp. (30%). The study showed that there is contaminants in some stale infant foods sold in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that mothers should preserve infant food for a short period of time and ensure preparation before consumption
