The term of street food refer as a wide variety of ready- to ± eat foods, sold street foods

such as Idli, Dosa, Samosa and Kachori which are not prepared properly and which are

contaminated with different micro- organism causing by disease such as diarrhea and dysentery (


 

Enteric pathogen are gastrointestinal organisms spread by contamination of foods mainly

of animal origin and among people who may be carriers. Enteric pathogen such as þ



 
    
    
 

ood borne illness caused by eating microbial contaminated food is an important public

health problem and is known to be a major of diarrhea diseases ( G ð.

ood is contaminated by various pathogenic microorganism causing food poisoning. All food

borne disease are classified as food infection or food intoxification.

ood is contaminated by varios pathogenic microorganism causing food poisoning. All

food borne diseases are classified is a poisonings and infections. ood poisoning can be the result

or either chemical poisoning or the ingestion of toxicant (infoxicationð. A bacterial food

intoxication therefore refers to food borne illness caused by the presence of a bacterial toxin

formed in the food.

A bacterial food infection is refers to food borne illnesses caused by the entrance and

bacteria into the body through ingestion of contaminated foods and the reaction of the body to

their presence or to their metabolites.

ood intoxication caused by bacteria, such as Bottelism and staphylococcus intoxication.

In Botellism, Bottelism caused by food of toxin (neurotoxinð produced by the Clostridium

botulism that it appreciable amount of toxin are present, everyone eat the food become ill and
consumption of very small of food caused illness and death, the symptoms usually are an acute

digestive disturbance followed by caused vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness.

In staphylococcus food intoxification, food poisoning is caused by the ingestion of the

enterotoxin formed in food during growth of certain strain of staphylococcus arises. The toxin is

termed an enterotoxin because it causes gastroenteritis or inflammation of the lining of the

intestinal tract.

The various sources of food contamination such as soil, water, air, dust and utensils. rom

soil, soil contain the grast variety of microorganism of any sources of contamination. Soil dust is

whipped up by air currents and soil particle are carried by running water so get onto foods, the

soil is an important source of heat resistant spore forming bacteria. Especially important are

various mold ang yeast and species of r

Ið? The main scope of this project is to spread awareness among the people regarding the

harmfull aspects of the street food as it contains various pathogen which may affect

their body.

IIð? ealth hazards from street food vending may be minimizes by avoiding poor handling

and awareness of need for personal hygiene and care in preparation, storage and

dispensing of street foods.
