Abstract
This research aims to describe the microbial content in the local drink of the Timor Community (Sopi) in several community enterprises in Sikumana Subdistrict, Kupang City, in 2024. Three samples of sopi were taken from different sellers and analyzed by the Health Laboratory Unit of NTT Province. The analysis results showed that the sopi samples were free from E. coli contamination, while contamination from other microbes on the equipment and the hands of the sopi distillers exceeded the maximum limit based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).
