Fishery products are foodstuffs that are prone to pathogenic microbial contamination which can cause food poisoning and disease in consumers. Therefore, fishery products need attention related to food safety. Pathogenic bacteria that often contaminate fishery products include E. coli and Salmonella which can cause disease in humans. This study aims to examine E. coli and Salmonella bacteria that contaminate fishery products that will be exported from Juanda Airport, East Java. The research method used was microscopic examination using conventional methods consisting of isolation and biochemical tests (for E. coli bacteria); prediction test, affirmation test and IMVIC test (for Salmonella bacteria). The results showed that fishery products consisting of Barramundi Skin On, Frozen Vannamei, Frozen Black Tiger Shrimp, Breaded Shrimp, Classic Frog Thighs, Skip Jack, Frozen Octopus, Frozen Mackarel, Frozen Sardine, and Frozen Squid were contaminated by bacteria that are not E. coli and Salmonella groups.
