Kontaminasi Bakteri Escherichia Coli pada Makanan Pedagang Kaki Lima di Sepanjang Jalan Margonda Depok Jawa Barat (Escherichia Coli Contamination in Street Vendor's Food at Jalan Margonda Depok, West Java)

---

Ministry of Health regulates that all foods and beverages should not contain Escherichia coli. However, most local government does not implement this requirenient by applying more technical local regulation to prevent food bome diseases. The objective of the present study was to quantify E. coli contamination in foods served by street vendors along the Jalan Margonda, City of Depok, West Java. A total of 100 street vendors were selected ran¬domly, from which different types of foods were sampled for E. coli mea¬surement using MPN method. Meanwhile, environmental sanitation of street vendors and personal hygiene of food handlers were observed. It was found that generally clean water for preparing foods and beverages and washing
kitchen utensils, sewage system, table utensils, and covered foods as well as serving behavior were not statistically correlated with E. coli contamina¬tion (p > 0,05). On the contrary, most the uncovered foods were highly c0n¬taminated by E. coli, although sanitation facilities and personal hygiene. were adequately good except solid waste disposal.
Key words: Escherichia coli, food, street vendor
