Street food vending has become a major public health problem that affects everybody.

This is due to the

spread of food-borne diseases and the proliferation of roadside food vendors who lack a basic
understanding of food safety issues. In Philippines, various food forms served as vehicles. The majority
of the Foodborne Disease Outbreaks (FBDOs) involved were classified as multiple incriminated foods.
Institutionally prepared foods had the most food vehicle incidences, followed by foods prepared at
home. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach ache accounted for 95% of
the disease manifestations listed for FBDOs associated with multiple food vehicles in this report with
unknown etiological agents of illnesses. Amoebiasis, fever, and cholera were associated to a lesser
percentage to these food vehicle group causing FBDOs.
