The production of chicken feet is primarily intended for foreign markets, and there is still no specific legislation in Brazil that determines the quality standard of these products. The bacteriological quality of chicken feet was evaluated as a product for human consumption at different steps of the technological processes. Eighty broiler feet from 20 lots at 4 steps of processing were collected for quantitative analysis, total count of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, and determining the most probable number of coliforms and fecal coliforms. Thirty-eight pools of 15 broiler feet each from 19 lots were used for qualitative analysis and the isolation of Salmonella enterica spp. and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Escherichia coli O157:H7 was not found in any of the samples. Salmonella spp. were isolated in 68% (13/19) of the lots. The Salmonella Schwarzengrund serotype was found in 12 of the 13 lots of positive samples and the Salmonella Anatum and Salmonella Corvallis serotypes were identified in the remaining lot. Processing is effective in reducing contamination by mesophilic bacteria, coliforms, and Salmonella spp. in these products. This work constitutes the first study in Brazil on microbiological quality of chicken feet.
