Street food is a special kind of food sold on the streets of almost every city in the world. It is a ready-to-eat food that you can buy in lower price. Of course, many argue about the safety and impact to the health of a person. There are cases of food poisoning and various diseases transmitted by dirty hands,water, and products.
Street foods is very popular all over the world and about two billion people consume it every day. We can purchase street food for a number of reasons, such as convenience to get flavourful food and it is affordable. As we can see in the cities there are many vendors in the street, like portable food booth, food cart or food truck and meant for immediate consumption. There are many diseases we can get from street foods such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid fever and food poisoning. This due to the mushrooming of wayside food vendors who lack an adequate understanding of the basic food safety issues. But not all street foods can cause diseases, because some food maker follow the proper process or procedure of making the food and they will assure the safety of the consumer or the buyer.
Therefore we must sure first that the food we eat is clean and also the environment is clean, because some instances of the disease are came from the dirt of the place where the food cart and food both located.
