Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui angka prevalensi bakteri E. coli pada meja dan peralatan pedagang daging ayam broiler. Sampel yang digunakan yaitu 20 swab meja, pisau, dan talenan pedagang daging ayam broiler di dua Pasar Tradisional Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Total Plate Count (TPC) dengan larutan Buffer Peptone Water (BPW) dan mengidentifikasi E. coli menggunakan media selektif diferensial, yaitu dengan Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMBA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 2 meja, 2 pisau, dan 3 talenan di Pasar Tradisional Seutui positif tercemar E. coli dengan angka prevalensi cemaran E. coli pada meja (40%), pisau (40%), dan talenan (60%), sedangkan di Pasar Tradisional Peunayong terdapat 2 meja dan 2 pisau positif tercemar E. coli dengan angka prevalensi cemaran E. coli pada meja (13%) dan pisau (13%).
