| Abstract: | The growing popularity of packaged foods, ranging from snacks and biscuits to chocolate and cupcakes, caters to the convenience needs of individuals on the move, whether at school, work, or on vacation. Nonetheless, ensuring food safety remains paramount, given the potential health risks stemming from mishandling, including bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic contamination, which can lead to food poisoning and severe illnesses. Bacterial contamination, in particular, stands as a significant global health concern, with the practices of food handlers playing a pivotal role in prevention. It’s important to note that various factors such as climate, geography, and development levels influence the repercussions of food contamination. While increased attention to food safety has yielded reductions in reported cases in certain regions, the overall toll remains alarmingly high, with an annual cost reaching nearly $152 billion in the USA alone and thousands of deaths recorded globally. Therefore, the identification and isolation of microbial contaminants in food samples emerge as crucial steps in implementing effective preventive measures and upholding public health standards. This research initiative aims to contribute to the mitigation of foodborne illnesses by evaluating the microbial load as well as existence of enteropathogens present in local branded packed food items available in Washim, Akola and Hingoli cities. The study sheds light on widespread contamination with foodborne pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella spp., and Shigella spp., often surpassing FDA guidelines. These findings underscore potential compromises in food quality and hygiene practices among food handlers, emphasizing the urgent need for stricter enforcement of food safety regulations, continuous laboratory monitoring, and proactive awareness campaigns promoting sound food hygiene practices. |
