“…Not only the poor or low income people eat street foods, but almost all segment of society visit street food vendors. Street foods have been defined by FAO as ready-to-eat foods and beverages prepared and/or sold by vendors especially in streets and other public places (Dawson & Canet, 1991;Hanashiro, Morita, Matte, Matte, & Torres, 2005;Jayasuriya, 1994). The globalization of the food trade offers many benefits to consumers, as it results in a wider variety of high-quality foods that are accessible, affordable and safe, meeting consumer demand.…”

A total of 78 samples of street foods from different states in Malaysia were examined for the presence of Klebsiella pneumonia. K. pneumonia contamination was recorded in 32% of the samples examined. The frequency of the K. pneumonia isolates containing plasmids was shown to be 48%. Susceptibility testing showed that all isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin (100%), erythromycin (100%), rifampicin (100%), streptomycin (96%) and sulfamethoxazole (80%), but susceptible to chloramphenicol. RAPD proved to be the most effective technique in discriminating the K. pneumonia isolates since dendrogram constructed using the combination of 4 primers could differentiate 25 isolates of K. pneumonia to 25 strains. This is the first report that revealed the occurrence of K. pneumonia in street foods sold in Malaysia.

“…IFS enterprises have an important role in providing an income for poor women, and play a key role as food-energy support instruments in urban landscapes [168][169][170]. Existing studies on the IFS have focused on related geographical and socio-economic patterns [171,172], including the importance of location on enterprise performance [170], nutrition and food security [173,174], hygiene and contamination [175][176][177][178], and policy and regulatory environments [179,180]. However, despite the importance of the IFS for women's income-generating activities, and the high dependence on energy of the sector, empirical evidence on the links between energy access, women's empowerment and IFS enterprises is limited.…”

A B S T R A C TThis interdisciplinary review paper explores linkages between access to energy, women's empowerment and entrepreneurship. This will be discussed in the context of the informal food sector. Despite expectations that access to energy for productive uses empowers women by enabling them to generate an income, women in developing countries face a range of barriers when establishing and operating enterprises, including access to energy. The literature reviewed in this paper suggests that, although improved access to energy for women in the informal food sector may create a range of benefits for women, the empirical evidence base upon which such claims are made is limited. Access to a range of energy services suitable to their enterprise would provide women with building blocks to operate their enterprise, alleviate restrictions on growth, increase their sustainability, and provide them with increased control over enterprise operation. These may help to create an enabling environment for empowerment, rather than directly contributing to it. Consideration of the gendered dynamics and logics of entrepreneurship in the design of development interventions, in particular with regard to motivations for operating an enterprise, spatial distribution of enterprises, growth strategies and risk behaviour, may lead to more sustainable and empowered enterprises in the long-term.

“…In the 1990s, a number of Chinese cities set up night markets with the initial purpose to provide employment for the laid-off urban residents (Feng 2008). Jayasuriya (1994) estimated that the number of street food vending establishments alone increased from less than 1% of the total number of food establishments in 1970 to more than 60% by the mid-1980s.…”

Street vending represents a vital and growing aspect of the urban informal economy that is often the subject of municipal regulatory efforts that seek to control, confine or extinguish it. In the People's Republic of China, recent developments and discussions on vendor rights and regulation underscore important socio-political and economic changes and concerns around the role of the informal economy in this country. As more of China's rural poor enter urban areas and turn to the streets to survive, the number of unlicensed vendors has risen and municipal efforts at increased regulation and enforcement of street vending licensure have been enacted. These developments within the context of China's 'state-capitalist economy' provide a fertile field for research into the informal economy, use and re-appropriation of public space, and regulation of a previously marginalized commercial activity. This paper draws from primary and secondary sources to provide an overview of street vending in China and consider the implications of recent regulatory developments and public dialogue that strive to formalize the informal.
