Food-Handling Practices and Environmental Factors Associated With Food Contamination Among Street Food Vendors in Nairobi County Kenya: A Cross-Sectional Study

摘要

Lack of adequate sanitation and refuse disposal facilities are among the factors found to contribute to food contamination among street food vendors. Most vending facilities are near crowded places, such as bus terminals or markets to attract consumers, and the few basic amenities, such as toilets, are inadequate. The objective of the study was to determine which sanitation practices were associated with food contamination in Githurai and Gikomba markets in Nairobi County.
