Abstract
Chicken giblets or edible viscera or edible offal (heart, liver and gizzard), the neck is usually part of the giblets but is collected later on after evisceration (Alan, 2001). Chicken giblets namely are popular for the Egyptian people because of its palatability, fast preparation and its highly nutritive value ( Hashim-Amany, 2005). The majority of Egyptian people prefers to eat fresh chicken, chicken parts and chicken giblets. This matter leads to dealing with small scale manual poultry processing shops. These shops didn’t implement effective hygienic measures or food safety instructions, As most of the recommended hygienic measures in the processing chain in the modern poultry processing plant are not applicable ( Mira -Enshrah and Eskandar, 2007).Chicken giblets harbor many bacterial hazards and zoonotic diseases for human specially children, despite of this it is one of the food products of non negligable concern in the Egyptian markets and is available either fresh or frozen (Hassan-Hala, 1996). The most commonly isolated bacteria from livers and hearts of apparently healthy chicken were staphylococcus spp. and Escherichia coli (Shah-Majid and Jah, 1987). Presence of S.aureus in the food indicates a bad hygienic conditions with great hazard which reflect the importance of isolation of such type of foodborne pathogen (Hashim, 2003). It can cause different types of diseases and food poisoning outbreaks in humanbeing (Collins et al., 1991).Salmonellosis considered as one of the most important zoonotic diseases in which the main source of infection are foods ofanimal origin in which poultry played a major role in salmonella.
