In recent years, meatless raw meatball shops have been opened and offered to the public. It is important for public health because it is a risky food for microbial contamination. This study was conducted to investigate some microbiological quality of MCK sold in Black Sea region insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Trabzon, Giresun, Ordu, Samsun); in Turkey.

Data analysis of the study was conducted using SPSS 24 package program. Statistical significance was evaluated at p<0.05. Results: According to the research results, the highest average TMAB insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Total Mesophilic Aerobic Bacteria); value of MCK samples was determined in Giresun province insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.04 log cfu/g); and the lowest average value was found in Samsun province. While the average TPAB insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Total Psychophilic Aerobic Bacteria); was determined as 1.82 log cfu/g in MCK samples collected from Samsun province, it could not be detected in Trabzon, Ordu and Giresun provinces. The average S. aureus value of MCK samples was determined in the highest province of Ordu insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.22 log cfu/g); and the lowest in Trabzon province insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.94 log cfu/g);. Conclusion: It was concluded that microbial quality was insufficient and hygiene rules were not taken into consideration in the provinces that were included in this study conducted in the Black Sea Region insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Trabzon-Giresun-Ordu-Samsun);.Keywords : Black Sea Region, meatless cig kofte, microbial quality, public health
