Evaluation of Street Food Safety and Hygiene Practices of Food Vendors in Can Tho City of Vietnam

According to Imathiu, S. (2017) Street food vending is a widely spread worldwide trend that is largely informal in
style. Since they are frequently regarded as being accessible, convenient, and tasty, street foods are quite widely
known and frequently sold as short meals or snacks to urban inhabitants in developing nations. The number of
people who eat street food may rise along with the urban population, particularly in emerging nations. Despite the
benefits of street food, there have been serious questions about food safety. Food poisoning outbreaks associated
with street food continue to be a threat in many parts of the world, with microbiological contamination as a major
issue. Furthermore, eating out and consuming cooked or raw meals have also become popular.

Food Hygienic Practices and Safety Measures among Street Food Vendors in Zanzibar Urban District

According to Jamila K. Hassan et al., (2020) The findings of this study highlighted important difficulties with food
safety and hygiene that could increase the risk of foodborne illness coming from a number of these vending
locations. It was determined that vending locations are inadequately maintained and that sellers comply only
minimally to hygiene standards and food safety regulations. The biggest risks are serving food with bare hands,
exposing food to unsafe temperature ranges, and inadequate compliance with laws requiring soap and water for
hand washing in restaurants by a significant portion of assessed vendors after restroom visits. In order to ensure
that the gained basic food safety and hygiene information is translated into acceptable and safe food codes
practices, it is advised that receiving basic training in food safety and hygienic practices be a requirement before
beginning a street food selling business.

According to Nyamagwa (2012) Street food vendors have been more prevalent in recent years, particularly in
developing nations, and they continue to expand quickly. This has had a significant impact on the economic growth
