Manufacturers often ignore the quality of raw materials, site hygiene, and inadequate market sanitation, increasing the potential for mold contamination in the ground spices. The purpose of this study was to determine the fungus that contaminates the ground spices of red chili and turmeric in Bandar Lampung's Gintung Sand Market. This research was conducted in March 2018, using six samples of ground red chili and six samples of ground turmeric. The sample was obtained from milled spice traders in the Pasir Gintung Market environment. Fungal contamination analysis was performed using the streak plate method. The results showed that all samples were positively contaminated with fungus. Three types of mushrooms that have been found include Aspergillusniger, Aspergillusflavus, and Candida sp.
