The target of present research was opinion of microbiological quality of ice creams in Warsaw market in aspect of requirements of the Polish Standard for the ice cream (PN-99/A-86431) and the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. A total of 87 samples of ice creams were analysed for standard plate count and coliform count. The results show that total bacterial count was considerably (in 97,7% of samples) below the limits of the Polish Standard (m = 5×10⁴; M = 2,5×10⁵ cfu/g) and of the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (m = 1×10⁵; M = 5×10⁵ cfu/g). 86% of the samples had a coliform count lower than 10 cfu/g. In refer to requirements of Polish Standard for coliform number in ice cream (m = 10²; M= 10³ cfu/g), 6 samples failed to meet the requirements of the m value for coliform bacteria, and additionally 1 sample – M value for coliform bacteria. The Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development quote sharpens requirements for coliform bacteria (m = 10; M = 100 cfu/g). According to this criteria, excess of the m value were noted down in 10 samples of ice creams.
