In many markets and roadside food areas, food is prepared or sold in unhygienic conditions, with poor hand hygiene, contaminated water, exposed ingredients, reused oil, or unsafe storage. Some products are also adulterated to increase profit or extend shelf life. This affects schoolchildren, office workers, daily commuters, and families who depend on affordable local food. The issue often leads to stomach infections, missed work or school days, and medical expenses. Because such food is cheap, accessible, and widely consumed, the problem becomes a daily public health concern in many localities.
