Abstract Fruits are very beneficial to health and their consumption has been recommended in daily diets. However, when fresh fruits are harvested and processed into sliced ready-to-eat or vended forms for sale, hygienic procedures are neglected. Thus, they are easily infested by pathogens. In addition, uneducated vendors who sell these fruits often display or hawk them on the streets in contaminated containers, utensils, or dirty environments. This poses a great threat to the health of consumers. In the light of this realization, some microbial assessments have been carried out to ascertain the safety of these vended fruits, thus making it a necessity to exploit the outcomes of some of these microbial assessments on vended fruits in order to sensitize the consumers on the effect of their consumption and mitigate risk by improving their quality. This will assist to lower certain health concerns, an outbreak of diseases, and death.

水果消费的微生物评价、风险评估及其控制
水果对人体健康非常有益，并建议在日常饮食中食用水果。然而，当新鲜水果被采摘并鲜切即食或出售的形式，卫生状况往往会被忽视，很容易被致病菌感染。此外，在街上，未受过教育的小贩经常会在被污染的容器、器皿或肮脏的环境中摆放或兜售水果，这对消费者的健康构成了极大的威胁。鉴于这一认识，已进行了一些微生物评估来确定这些出售水果的安全性。因此，有必要利用其中一些对出售水果的微生物评估的结果，以便使消费者对其消费影响敏感，并通过改善其质量来降低风险质量。这将有助于降低某些健康问题、疾病爆发和死亡。
