For example, in Mandya district of Karnataka, tea, lassi, panipuri, bajji, gobi manchuri, omlet, fried rice, chicken kabab and noodles are the most commonly available street food. However, street food may be adulterated with artificial colours and microbes or their toxins, which raise several health concerns. Vendors often little care in preparing and handling street food. These things are of tremendous public health concern, since eating out of eating street food is seen across all age groups. In this article the authors have discussed these aspects of street food.
