Consumption of street foods as they includes variety of cuisines has recently increased in popularity especially in emerging nations, including India. The large scale utilization of street foods is linked with higher risks of food-borne diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, typhoid and food poisioning. The aim of this study is to determine the awareness, knowledge and storage practices of street food vendors in Mohali district, Punjab, India. In this study, three main surveys were conducted. The first survey utilised questionnaires to determine the street food vendor's knowledge of food safety, while the second survey used questionnaires to assess the vendor's knowledge of food storage practises and street food safety. The observation of the general food safety and the socio-demographic traits of the vendors were analysed using a checklist in the following section. Total 100 street food vendors participated in the survey which were selected using a random sampling technique. Out of the total respondents 90% of the street vendors were male while only 10% were females. All of the vendors i.e., 100% had never taken a course or training on food safety and hygiene techniques and only 10% had done training in food preparation and preservation techniques, in terms of formal education. The study found that while street food vendors had low knowledge of food safety, they were generally aware of it and used reasonable storage practises. This showed that although they had a moderate level of awareness, knowledge, and storage practises regarding the fundamental food safety parameters, they were not putting those practises into practise on a daily basis, which is a major factor in the degradation of the quality of street foods.
