Abstract

Food-borne illnesses are increasingly being seen as a major public health concern and as a threat to the entire world's health. Utilizing tainted raw food components and particles, dirty water, unhygienic preparation methods, and infected containers all contributed to contamination. Investigating the microbial quality of samples of street food is the study's principal goal. A total of 50 samples of street cuisine from ten different vendors were randomly selected for the investigation. The usual microbiological procedure for isolating, counting, and identifying bacteria was employed to analyze the collected samples for the presence of bacteria. Salmonella spp. 5 (10%), E. coli 15 (30%), Staphylococcus aureus 6 (12%), Shigella spp. 5 (10%), Klebsiella spp. 9 (18%), and miscellaneous bacteria 10 (20%) were discovered in the samples that were collected. As a result, it is encouraged to apply sound risk analysis policies to give a scientific foundation to a variety of risk management options that Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh, India) may need to consider in order to ensure the health and safety of the general public.
