Abstract
Indonesia is one of the countries that is rich in food. Street food in Indonesia is one of the attractions recognized worldwide. The habit of consuming snacks among schoolchildren is difficult to change, so strict inspection and supervision of snacks sold around elementary schools are needed. This study aimed to determine the risk of exposure to bacteria from the consumption of student snacks in elementary schools in Biringkanaya District, Makassar City. This type of research uses an observational method with a Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) approach, which aims to calculate the health risk due to exposure to micro bacteria in snacks. If the value of Pinf/day / Pill > 10-6 (for example 10-5), then it is stated with high risk; if the value of Pinf/day / Pill < 10-6 (for example 10-7), then it is indicated with low risk. Meanwhile, if the value of Pinf/day / Pill = 10-6, it is declared a medium risk. The Probability of Illness (Pill) calculation results for Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria were found in the 3rd snack, 7th snack, 8th snack, and 9th snack with a Pill value = 3.0 x 10-1. The risk characterization for bacteria found in snacks in this study is highly risky.
