Total 90 samples were collected 30 from each location. Samples collected carefully in sterilized plastic bags and processed in microbiological lab of UV AS Lahore. The results were compared with different food standards given by developed countries like UK. In present study results showed that for aerobic plate count 30 samples from road side vendors was in range of 105_ 1014, fast food outlets range of 105_ 1012 and family restaurants range of 105_ 1013. Coliform count from road side venders was in range of 105_ 1013, fast food outlets range of 105_1012 and family restaurants range of 105 - 1013. Fungal count from road side vendors was in range of 103_106, in fast food out lets range of 103 - 106 and in family restaurants range of 103 - 106. In our study from road side vendors 12 Salmonella, 24 Aeromonas, 11 Bacillus, 29 Entarobacter spp, 29 E.coli, 30 Staphylococcus aurues 29 Klebsealla spp 5 Aspergillus fumigates, 10 Aspergillus niger and 3 Aspergillus flavus have been identified. In fast food outlets 26 Salmonella, 21 Aeromonas, 9 Bacillus, 30 Entarobacter spp, 30 E.coli, 30 Staphylococcus aurues 30 Klebsealla spp and 9 Aspergillus fumigates and 2 Aspergillus flavus have been identified. In family restaurants 21 Salmonella, 15 Aeromonas, 9 Bacillus, 30 Entarobacter spp, 30 E. coli, 30 Staphylococcus aurues 30 Klebsealla spp 4 Aspergillus fumigates, 3 Aspergillus niger and 4 Aspergillus flavus have been identified.

The present research was planned to investigate the microbial load and

identification of bacteria in mixed vegetable salads from three different locations such

as road side vendors, fast food outlet and family restaurants. Total 90 samples were

collected 30 from each location. Samples collected carefully in sterilized plastic bags

and processed in microbiological lab of UV AS Lahore. The results were compared

with different food standards given by developed countries like UK.
In present study results showed that for aerobic plate count 30 samples from
road side vendors was in range of 105_ 1014, fast food outlets range of 105_ 1012 and
family restaurants range of 105_ 1013. Coliform count from road side venders was in
range of 105_ 1013, fast food outlets range of 105_1012 and family restaurants range of
105 - 1013. Fungal count from road side vendors was in range of 103_106, in fast food
out lets range of 103 - 106 and in family restaurants range of 103 - 106.
In our study from road side vendors 12 Salmonella, 24 Aeromonas, 11
Bacillus, 29 Entarobacter spp, 29 E.coli, 30 Staphylococcus aurues 29 Klebsealla spp
5 Aspergillus fumigates, 10 Aspergillus niger and 3 Aspergillus flavus have been
identified. In fast food outlets 26 Salmonella, 21 Aeromonas, 9 Bacillus, 30
Entarobacter spp, 30 E.coli, 30 Staphylococcus aurues 30 Klebsealla spp and 9
Aspergillus fumigates and 2 Aspergillus flavus have been identified. In family
restaurants 21 Salmonella, 15 Aeromonas, 9 Bacillus, 30 Entarobacter spp, 30 E. coli,
30 Staphylococcus aurues 30 Klebsealla spp 4 Aspergillus fumigates, 3 Aspergillus niger and 4 Aspergillus flavus have been identified.
