Different types of fruit juices are predominantly being sold by a squad of street vendors in Bilaspur city which are widely consumed all over the city. Fruit juice is a drink made from the extraction or pressing of the natural liquid contained in fruits and vegetables. Though they are the source of free sugars, it also contains micronutrients and plant bio actives. But one cannot deny the fact that these street fruit juices are principally very rich in microbial loads as well So, the present analysis was under taken with the objective to assess the microbiological load and possible risk factors associated with these street drinks. The study was undertaken with three types of fruit juices such as orange pomegranate and pineapple. The percentage of microbes was also assessed in commercially packed fruit juice in all the three types of fruit juices as mentioned above. From all the assessment it was determined that the microbial quality of commercially packed fruits juice was far better than the street fruit juices.
