The consumption of salads of the fourth range (4th range) has become increasingly worrying in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). This work was undertaken to determine the microbiological status of these foods during the period of domestic conservation (7°C) after opening the packaging in order to prevent the risk of intoxication from bacterial pathogens. The material and methods used for the microbiological analyses refer to the techniques of classical microbiology followed by statistical tests through R4.1.2 and excel software. The results obtained showed that the 4th range salads sold in the hypermarkets of the city of Abidjan were highly contaminated by bacterial pathogens such as S. aureus with a prevalence of 24%, E. coli O157: H7 with 16% and Salmonella spp. with 18%. On opening the packages (D0), 63.43% of the salads were unfit for consumption, 5% had an acceptable load and 31.57% were of satisfactory microbiological quality. On the third day (D3), the rate of salads unfit for consumption increased (68.43%). On the seventh day (D7), the microbiological quality was the same as on the third day. However, the Salads of the Green Oaks (SChV) and the Meli melo salads (SMe), with perforated packaging were more conducive to the growth of the pathogens studied. Domestic refrigeration does not guarantee the safety of 4th range salads after opening the packages.
