The results showed that the highest number of colonies was found in trader 10, namely 3.8x106 cfu/g and the lowest in trader 5, namely 3.9x104 cfu/g, this was not in accordance with the maximum limit of microbial contamination in foodstuffs (fresh chicken meat) according to the National Standard. Indonesia (SNI) 7388:2009 namely TPC 1 x 106 colonies/gram.
