Abstract: This study aims to determine and compare the microbiological contamination of Salmonella and Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Cadmium metal contamination of beef. This study used a purposive sampling method, namely taking beef sample data from various RPHs and markets in Cirebon Regency. Meat samples were then tested microbiologically and tested for metals in the laboratory. Salmonella sp and Escherichia coli (E. coli) testing and metal testing (Cadmium). Data analysis used descriptive qualitative to compare laboratory results and established SNI. The results of this study indicate that Salmonella sp contamination of beef in these three RPHs has met the SNI requirements by being declared negative for Salmonella sp contamination, therefore the meat is safe for consumption. The results of the Escherichia coli (E. coli) test averaged 3.0 CFU / g, which is still considered normal because it is still below the maximum standard for Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination listed in (SNI) 7388: 2009 - Carcass and meat quality. Meanwhile, the results of the metal contamination test of the three meat samples at the RPH obtained negative results or no detection of the heavy metal cadmium, these results were declared normal according to the provisions of (SNI) 7387:2009 which states that the maximum limit of heavy metal cadmium contamination for fresh beef is 0.3 mg/kg.
