Abstract

Urutan babi (pork sausage) is a traditional Balinese food sold in various areas of Bali Island, one of which is in Gianyar Regency. In general, urutan babi are sold with a little regard for environmental sanitation in the sales area. The feared condition could result in bacterial contamination, including Salmonella sp. and Staphylococcus aureus which can cause various disease problems, especially in the human digestive system. This study aims to determine the total contamination of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella inurutan babi which are sold in Gianyar Regency and to determine the feasibility of urutan babi samples in accordance with food safety standards according to BPOM. Samples of urutan babi were obtained from several sellers of urutan babi spread across four sub- districts in Gianyar Regency, namely Gianyar, Sukawati, Tegallalang, and Ubud Districts. Sampling method was using a purposive sampling method of 30% of the total traders in each sub-district, while the microbial testing method used pour plate and streak plating methods and used selective media. Parameters tested included Total Plate Count (TPC), Staphylococcus aureus, and the presence of Salmonella in the urutan babi. The results showed that the microbial and S. aureus contamination rates for 3 weeks fluctuated between 102 and 107 CFU/g, while the Salmonella test result was negative. Based on the test, as many as 55 out of 66 samples (83%) exceed the consumption eligibility standards for the microbial contamination test (TPC), all samples exceed the consumption eligibility standards for the S. aureus contamination test, while all samples did not exceed the consumption eligibility standards for the Salmonella contamination test according to BPOM standards.
