Study reveals public health risks from contamination in dried fish from the Philippines, highlighting food safety concerns.

The research aims to assess the microbial quality of dried fish samples and detect Staphylococcus aureus.
Collected six dried fish samples from local markets in the Philippines.
Assessed total plate count, coliforms, yeast and mold, and Staphylococcus aureus presence.
Measured microbial counts in CFU/g.
Total plate counts ranged from 7.2 × 10⁴ to 1.05 × 10⁶ CFU/g, with a mean of 5.7 × 10⁵ ± 3.6 × 10⁵ CFU/g.
Coliforms detected at 50–280 CFU/g.
S. aureus was present in 50% of the samples, indicating significant health risks.
