    The existence of public spaces where morcillas (blood sausages) are sold, and the lack of measures to control their microbiological quality can give rise to foodborne diseases (FBD), which in turn represents a major health problem for consumers in the future. For this research we determined the microbiological quality of black and white pork blood sausages, which are sold in several public spaces around the city of Cuenca. Through application of the NTE INEN 1338:2012 standard and the Peruvian Technical Standard for black and white blood sausage, respectively, both of which establish microbial limits for the microorganisms under study, thus ensuring that these products are suitable for commercialization. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. Ten duplicate samples obtained randomly from several points of sale were analyzed and determined by Compact Dry plates, Mesophyll aerobes, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, while the Reveal 2.0 kit was used to determine Salmonella spp and Listeria monocytogenes, lastly the method described in the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM), Chapter 16, was used for determination of Clostridium perfringens. The results obtained from the microbiological analysis were statistically analyzed, for this reason it was possible to determine that for black and white blood sausage most microbiological parameters comply with current regulations. Despite this, a comprehensive training regarding Good Handling Practices (GHP) was provided together with the City's Urban Control Department
