San Francisco health department has started a social media campaign warning the public about "unsanitary conditions" of street hot dog carts.For months, the San Francisco Department of Public Health has been cracking down on unpermitted street vendors along the Embarcadero. But now instead of confiscating carts, they are also starting a social media campaign to alert the public of what they say are "unsanitary conditions.""We were looking forward to it.
"We have hot dogs. They have these great vendors out here with these incredible-looking dogs. I'm going to give them a try and see how it is, I'm sure it's going to be great. Something different," said Barrios.We went to Pier 33 to speak to vendors. Escoto owns several food carts and showed us a box with hot dogs wrapped in bacon and a receipt for all the ingredients she bought on Monday."We are many vendors. I can't speak for the others about how they are dealing with their hygiene.""It's the volume. The sheer volume of vendors that are out there. One vendor, a little bit of debris, a little bit of issue. Eighteen vendors out there. There is a lot of debris, lots of grease.
"These incidents of foodborne illness due to unpermitted vending are difficult to track because they range from vomiting and diarrhea to salmonella and E. Coli. For mild symptoms, the majority of people do not report.""If they are kept at room temperature and not cooked to at least 165 degrees, the kind of bacteria that hot dogs can breed are Salmonella - which is a kind of food poisoning," said Dr. Gandhi.
