Abstract

The
interest of people having restaurants food is increasing day by day and most of
them are not aware of the consequence of eating too much restaurant food. Food
from roadside restaurants is frequently contaminated by in a various way like
restaurants location, raw materials used to prepare food, used utensils and
equipment, storage and reheating of food, personal hygiene of vendors. Many
people face various foodborne illnesses by eating contaminated food from
roadside restaurants. Though the immune system of people is habituated with
this food, they have that food more or less regularly here. But when the
microbiological system of the body can’t afford this contaminated food, people
have to face some serious life danger foodborne diseases. The main purpose of
the research is to find out the source of contamination of food, for this type
of diseases people have to face, create awareness among people about this
contaminated food and their diseases and suggest some precaution measures.
Foods and water sample from different wards of Khulna city have been collected
and some of the hygiene parameters like pH, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity,
Chloride, Hardness, Total Dissolve Solid, Nitrate, Iron, Arsenic, total
Coliform, and Fecal Coliform of those samples are being tested in the
laboratory. Though most of the drinking water and food sample from various
wards of Khulna City are quite satisfying from contamination but the water sample
from wards 3, 5, 21, 23 and food sample from wards
