Abstract	In a balanced diet of vegetables consumption is of paramount importance due to their high nutritional value. Microbiological contamination of lettuce and tomato may occur before and after harvest, through contact with contaminated water irrigation, during transport, at the hands of manipulators and even through water used for cleaning. The aim of this study was to assess the microbiological quality of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and tomatoes sold in supermarkets of Juazeiro of Norte - Ceara. The samples were collected at eight supermarkets and then taken to the microbiology laboratory of food FATEC - Cariri, where analyzes were made of total and fecal coliforms and Salmonella spp, according to the norms of the APHA (American Public Health Association). The results for total and fecal coliforms showed that the samples were outside the standards set by legislation for Salmonella spp revealed that all samples (100%) were in accordance with the current federal standard.
