The present study was undertaken to investigate the microbiological quality of panipuri sold in Raipur Chhattisgarh, India. Twenty water sample of panipuri were aseptically collected from eleven locations of Raipur City. Analysis of the food samples revealed that 93% of panipuri water samples had high loads of bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Iron bacteria and Vibrio species. It is suggested that regular monitoring of the quality of street foods must be practiced to avoid any food-borne infection in future. Although it was a preliminary endeavor, the present study is a prerequisite in understanding the significance of pathogenic microorganisms in street foods and use of EOs as both antibacterial agents and food preservatives.
