Fresh food from plants (PSAT) is fresh food consumed directly or after experiencing minimal processing. Therefore PSATto be consumed must be safe from aspects of microbial contamination and physical chemical contamination. There areseveral types of pathogenic microbes, which can contaminate PSAT and can cause disease disorders. One microbe, whichincludes pathogenic microbes and potentially contaminates PSAT, is Salmonella sp. Salmonella sp microbes are pathogenicto society in general. Some health problems caused by PSAT contaminated with Salmonella sp, disorders of the digestivetract, in the form of diarrhea, or typhus. Land and water used in the cultivation process and handling of it contaminatedwith salmonella sp.To know the prevalence of Salmonella sp in PSAT, a study was carried out, by taking samples at locations, and selectedcommodities. The locations chosen are West Java, Banten and DKI Jakarta in two traditional markets in each province.While the selected commodities are bean sprouts, tomatoes and cabbage. Sampling was carried out by random method,with the population in accordance with the number of vegetable traders in that location. Testing of samples for Listeriamonocytogenes contamination is carried out in accredited laboratories.From the results of testing of 300 (three hundred) samples, consisting of 100 samples of bean sprouts, 100 samples oftomatoes, and 100 samples of cabbage, 4 samples of bean sprouts (or 4%) were stated to be positively contaminated withSalmonella sp. 3 samples of cabbage (3%) were positive for salmonella contamination. In other words, Salmonella spcontamination is found in 4 sample bean sprouts from 100 samples, pollution also occurs in 2 tomato samples from 100samples and occurs in 3 samples of cabbage from 100 samples.
