Currently, there is an increase in the consumption of fresh foods due to the population's growing search for a healthier diet. However, the quality of these foods in terms of microbiological health is a concern, as they may represent a significant means of transmission of enteroparasites. The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of parasites in grape samples, sold in different locations in the city of Serra Talhada. The collection period took place between July and December 2023, with the analysis of grape samples (Vitis spp.) carried out at the Plant Biotechnology Laboratory, at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco. In total, 28 samples of grapes were analyzed from 14 commercial establishments, including greengrocers, street markets and supermarkets. Of the samples analyzed, parasitic structures such as insects, mite eggs and mites were found. Given the results obtained, it was concluded that parasitic structures are present in grapes sold in the city of Serra Talhada, however additional studies are necessary, expanding the sample size and using more than one diagnostic method.
