Abstract
This study was planned to assess the safety of some fast-food meals prepared in restaurants in Sohag City. One hundred fast food sandwiches including beef shawerma, beef burger, chicken shawerma, and chicken pane were randomly collected from different restaurants in Sohag city (25 of each) for detection of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results revealed that the
incidence of E. coli in beef shawerma, beef burger, chicken shawerma, and chicken pane were 12%,16%,24%, and 8% respectively. While the incidence of Staph aureus was 32%, 24%, 40%, and 36%, respectively. The obtained results demonstrate that fast food sandwiches sold in Sohag City constitute a likely potential hazard to human health, and strict hygienic measures are recommended to decrease the contamination level.
