A total of 50 random samples of imported canned beef were collected from different supermarkets in Alexandria and were examined physically,chemically and bacteriologically.The physical examination revealed that 96% of examined canned beef samples fulfilled the legal requirements. The chemical examination indicated that the mean values of pH, moisture, sodium chloride, T.V.N and phosphate were within the permissible limits. Bacteriological examination of all examined samples revealed that the mean values of the total aerobic plate count, total anaerobic bacterial count, total Staphylococci count were 9.48X103± 2.8X103, 4X102± 7.7X 10 and 2.5 X 10 ± 2.3 cfu/gram, respectively. The incidence of the isolated coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus from the examined samples was3%.The public health significance of the isolated microorganisms as well as quality evaluation of some imported canned beef on the basis of the Egyptian standard specifications was discussed.
