Salmonellas is the most prevalent food born disease in the word and poultry meat is one of the sources of infection. In a descriptive cross sectional study, 140 samples of poultry carcasses prepared for sale on the Hamadan retail market were studied. Seventy freezing carcass samples and also 70 non – freezing ones were selected.Each chicken was taken three samples, including; skin, muscle and viscera for microbiological examination on selective media. Twelve poultry samples (8.6%) were contaminated with salmonella SPP. The rate of contamination was more in non - freezing poultry than freezing poulty. The most frequency of isolated salmonella was S. typhimurium and S. enteritis respectively. Due to high contamination rates, hygienic rules of slough and meat processing must be paid attention.
