Abstract

Data collected from street-vended food enterprises and on vendors from the urban area of cities of Buldana districts, MS revealed that, they provide a variety of ready-to-eat foods to a high proportion of the populations. Handling and trading practices of street vendors is not permit to obtain safe food. While, street-vended foods are easily contaminated by food borne pathogen. Street-vended foods (Ragda-Petis, Bhel, and Panipuri) sold by street vendors were analyzed for their microbial contents during initial rainy season. The total viable counts of all 60 samples were approximately 6.7 – 15 X 10cfu/100ml with significant load of E. coli and S.typhi. Almost 70% of the street-vended food samples collected from street vendors are showed high bacterial load. Our results demonstrate the non hygienic quality of most popular types of street vended foods i.e. Ragda-Petis, Bhel and Panipuri. The emerging needs have followed the control measures to improve microbial quality of street vended foods.
