Abstract

Ready-to-eat foods have become a global concern because they are a source of income for low and middle-income people. Also, they constitute the main food for students and lower to middle-level workers. However, a lack of knowledge about good food processing practices results in microbial contamination that interferes with human health. Enterobacter cloacaeis one of the most common bacterial contaminants found in ready-to-eat foods in manycountries. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify E. cloacaeusing the API 20E kit on ready-to-eat foods in Yogyakarta city and its surroundings. Subsequently, 115 samples of 10 types of food were collected from various locations for isolation and identification of the contaminant. The results showed that 7 foods were found to be contaminated,withprocessed egg products having the highest contamination level at 40%. This was followed by various snacks and packaged dairy products at 30% each, then skewered meatballs, and other processed food products, at 20% and 10%, respectively. Meanwhile, dumplings, potato products, and assorted iced drinks were not contaminated by the bacteria.
