Background: Pathogenic bacteria can be a significant cause of food poisoning. Bacterial growth in food can also cause undesirable physical or chemical changes, making the food unfit for consumption. Egg roll is a snack easily found in Banda Aceh City, which children and adults generally consume. Snacks that contain high bacteria are very dangerous for health.Objectives: This study aims to determine the types of pathogenic bacteria in egg rolls sold in Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh.Methods: This experimental study was conducted in Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh City, 2020.

Data analysis was only done descriptively.Results: The study identifying pathogenic bacteria on egg rolls showed that the egg roll samples were contaminated with several harmful bacteria. The bacterial colonies varied from the lowest distribution of 453,333 to the highest of 1,150,000. The bacteria were Citrobacter freundii, Proteus mirabilis, and pathogenic bacteria Salmonella sp.Conclusion: Egg rolls sold on the roadside have been contaminated with bacteria. The bacteria identified were Citrobacter freundii, Proteus mirabilis, and pathogenic bacteria Salmonella sp. Suggestions and efforts are needed from the authorities to conduct health promotion and training for egg roll sellers to maintain hygiene and sanitation of both tools and places of sale.
This study aims to determine the knowledge and attitudes of the community towards food safety from the use of plastic and styrofoam as packaging. Plastic and styrofoam are food packaging that contain monomers and additives in the form of plasticizers. These monomers can migrate into packaged foods. This will reduce the quality of food due to exposure to materials. These movable plastic and styrofoam materials can be carcinogenic and hazardous to health. This research was conducted in Lamujong Village, Baitussalam Aceh Besar, using a purposive sampling technique to obtain 32 respondents. This research was conducted from 15 to 20 August 2022. The research method is a descriptive method in the form of educating the public by conducting observations and interviews using leaflets. Based on the results of the study, it showed that there was an increase in respondents' knowledge and attitudes about the use of plastic and styrofoam packaging in order to become food safety for packaged food.
