The sampling used random sampling method. MPN method was used in order to know the number of coliform in iced squeezed orange drinks in Pontianak City. MPN test result obtained the lowest index value of MPN/mL was 0,14/mL in sample in subdistrict Pontianak City and the highest index value in four subdistricts in Pontianak City was MPN/mL >24,00/mL. It was showed that five samples exceed normal limits in accordance with SNI standards SNI 01-3839-1995 based on Permenkes No 492/MENKES/per/IV/2010.
