    Abstract

    This study concerns the correlation between monitoring of hygienic levels by public food inspectors and observed microbial levels in two types of food, cream cakes and pasta salads sold by small enterprises. The microbial contents of pasta salads exceeded frequently 7logCFUg-1 in outlets with highly satisfactory rankings by food inspectors. Contrarily, microbial contents of cream cakes were mostly below 5logCFUg-1, in relatively high agreement with food inspectors' ranking. The implications for monitoring compliance with HACCP-based own control programs in small food outlets are discussed.
