Kulfi, Lassi, Microbiological safety, SurveyAbstract
The study was performed to assess the microbiological quality of street food sold around the Ramnagar, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Eighty samples of different street foods including Lassi, Rabri, Kulfi, Rasmalai were collected from different areas of the Ramnagar region and the microbial quality and adulteration pattern of each sample was assessed. Apart from this, a survey was also conducted to assess the awareness pattern of food safety among the population. A very high level of coliform was observed in all samples of dairy products. The adulterants were not present but have a wide variation in acidity and moisture content. Further, the consumer survey indicated that only 35 % of people know about FSSAI and 74.16% of people known about the fatal diseases associated with the consumption of unclean street food.
