This study was conducted to investigate the presence of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. in200 bovine origin meat, milk and their products (minced meat, meatball, Inegöl meatball, sausage, pasteurized milk,Tulum cheese, fresh soft cheese and cecil cheese). Salmonella were isolated from 66 (33%) of 200 samples. While 45(22.5%) of which were obtained from meat origin samples (16 minced meat, 10 inegöl meatball, 16 meatball and 3sausage) and 21 (10.5%) of which was detected in cheese samples (6 tulum and 15 fresh soft cheeses). L. monocytogeneswas detected in a total 6 samples (3%); 2 (1%) of the meat (one ground beef and one meatball) and 4 (2%) ofthe cheese samples (one tulum and 3 fresh soft cheeses). In contrast, Salmonella spp. or L. monocytogenes was notdetected in pasteurized milk and sausage samples. The high prevalence of Salmonella spp. and presence of L. monocytogenesin the samples could pose public health risks for consumers. To avoid Salmonella spp. and L. monocytogenescontamination, hygienic rules of slaughter and meat processing or pasteurizing milk must be rigorously observed.
