Abstract

The foodborne disease still become significant health problems in the developing region. As the primary school-age children were most affected, regulation to reduce its incidence is necessary. Food-handlers are one of the sources of transmission, particularly in a school environment. Our study aimed to provide bacterial assessment among traditional food-handlers in two different public primary schools, Public Primary School 064024, Prona Satu St and Public Primary School 066656, Karya Sembada St, in Medan Selayang sub-district, Medan, Indonesia. We conducted a descriptive study enrolled 22 traditional foodhandlers and evaluated their behavior related to hygiene and sanitation by using fundamental principles rules released by the Ministry of Health of Republic of Indonesia No.942/MENKES/SK/VII/2003. We found that all food-handlers did not perform basic principles rules and categorized as ineligible. While, 18 of 22 (81.8%) traditional food-handlers carried bacterial pathogen species including Escherichia coli (50%), Staphylococcus aureus (22.72%), and Klebsiella spp (9.09%).
