This study was conducted to assess the bacterial contamination between the groundnut cakes and paste obtained from Rural areas (Bodinga, kware) and that obtained within the metropolis at Urban areas (Arkilla and ‘Yargoriba) of Sokoto metropolis. A total of 8 samples of ready to eat groundnut cake and pastes were purchased, 4 of which were cake packaged in polythene and 4 paste packaged in plastic rubbers. The samples were analyzed microbiologically using standard procedures. Bacteria species associated with the samples collected from the rural areas were identified as Bacillus lentus, B. megaterium, B. licheniformis, Listeria monocytogene, Staphylococcus aureus while those associated with samples collected from the urban areas were identified as Bacillus lentus, B. megaterium, B. licheniformis, Listeria monocytogene, Staphylococcus aureus and S. hominis. There was higher bacteria count on samples from rural areas compared to those from urban areas. This might be as a result of unhygienic practices during the processing of the product which may range from methods of obtaining and quality of raw materials including sources of water, packaging, handling and distribution of the finished product to the final consumers. Based on these, it is recommended that Producers of groundnut cake should use good hygienic places, raw material and equipment to reduce the risk of microbial contamination.

MegaTium,B.LICHENIFINGIS,李斯特菌单核苷,金黄色葡萄球菌,而与从城市地区收集的样品相关的那些被鉴定为Bacillus Lentus,B. MegiStum, B. Licheniformis,Histeria单核细胞酯,金黄色葡萄球菌和S. hominis。与来自城市地区的人员相比,农村地区的样品有更高的细菌。这可能是在加工产品中的不卫生实践的结果,这可以从获得的方法和原材料的质量的方法中,包括水源,包装,处理和成品的源代理到最终消费者。基于这些,建议生产者蛋糕的生产者应该使用良好的卫生地点,原料和设备来降低微生物污染的风险。
