The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) isolation methodology of Listeria spp. was used in 124 samples of equipments/utensils and environmental sources, with species identification by biochemical tests and confirmation by API Listeria (bioMérieux). The results showed frequencies of 6,25% for L. monocytogenes; 68,75% for L. innocua; 18,75 for L. welshimeri; 4,17% for L. seeligeri and 2,08% of L. grayi.
