title: [Street food safety in Rome, Italy].
abstract: The Authors describe the results of inspections carried out in 22 street food outlets in the city of Rome, Italy, from 7 April to 28 May 2014. In general, structural requirements of outlets were met but some critical aspects related to hygiene, in particular of instruments, surfaces and worktops, were identified. Results suggest the need to ensure compliance with sanitation requirements of this particular type of food outlet, in order to ensure food safety and, consequently, consumers' health.
