ABSTRACT: Fried vice is one of the major dishes prepared and sold in fast food joints mainly because, it is delicious and the ingredients used in its preparation make up a substantial portion of the human diet. This work is centered on thorough microbial examination of fried rice sold in fast food joints. Samples of fried rice were collected from Mr. Biggs Okpara Avenue Enugu, and analysed by homogenizing the samples, six-fold serial dilution was carried out by using the supernatant. Tube 5 and 6 were plated out on the surface of the media:, Nutrient agar, Mac Conkey agar and potato-dextrose agar were used in both the streak plate and pour method respectively, the late were incubated at 370c for 24hours. Bacterial organisms such as streptococcus 5pp, salmonella spp, shiqella 5pp and staphylococcus 5pp, the average viable count shows that salmonella 5pp and staphylococcus 5pp are the major cause of food poisoning and food infection. The extent of contamination of fried rice with undesirable bacterial organisms depends on a number of factors such as the water for washing, working skill, habits and the personal hygiene of food handlers.
