This is the first study carried out in the Brazilian chocolate industry
that has investigated Enterobacteriaceae contamination
throughout the chocolate processing line, from cocoa processed
ingredients to end products. Salmonella and E. coli were not
detected in any of the 395 samples analyzed. However, the presence
of both microorganisms in chocolate has already been reported
in literature.isolated Salmonella
from two samples of wrapped chocolate. In Spain,detected E. coli in 7% of the analyzed samples, with counts
of 0.6 and 1.1 log MPN/g.
Besides Salmonella and E. coli, thermotolerant coliforms were
not detected in any chocolate sample either Therefore, all analyzed chocolate samples were in accordance with
the microbiological criteria established by the Brazilian National
Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), which determine the
absence of Salmonella in 25 g of product and the thermotolerant
coliform count up to 1 log cfu/g.
