After potentially cancer-causing chemicals&nbsp;were found in the famous and very popular Indian street food Pani Puri, another loved street food Shawarma has now raised health concerns as deadly bacteria and yeast have been found in its samples.

Street foods have been popular in India and have attracted consumers from all directions. It has been a core gastronomical delight for food lovers, who have a special love for spicy dishes.

There are a range of popular Indian street foods like pani puri, chaat, aalo tikki and shawarma. They are known to be delicious but they face the risk of adulteration and contamination, especially in the monsoon season which generally leads to food poisoning.&nbsp;

<h2>Here's what was found by FSSAI in Shawarma samples</h2>

According to a report published in The Times Of India, shawarma samples were collected by the FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) officials from 10 districts in the state, which includes restaurants in Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) limits.&nbsp;

Among the samples collected, it was found that many of them had poor quality and were hazardous to human health.

Out of the 17 samples, 8 of them were found to be in unhygienic condition. The samples were found contaminated with yeast and unhealthy bacteria which can lead to severe health issues.

While speaking to the TOI, the FSSAI's senior official said, “Out of 17 samples we collected, 8 samples were found in unhygienic condition. Unhealthy bacteria and yeast were found in these samples of shawarma, which could cause severe health issues. Action will be taken on the restaurants that are not following the safety standards.”

The FSSAI officials last week said that an inspection was carried out and it was found that 22 per cent of pani puri samples collected did not pass the safety standards.

The officials carried out the drill after the artificial food colouring in kebabs was banned across the Indian state of Karnataka. Just a month ago,&nbsp;two food vendors were arrested after a&nbsp;19-year-old man died after consuming&nbsp;'chicken shawarma' in the Indian city of&nbsp;Mumbai.

<h2>What consumers, who love Shawarma samples, should do?</h2>

The recent discoveries made in the Shawarma samples have left the food lovers wondering if they should consume it.

At a time when such contamination has been found in Shawarma samples, the best way out is to enjoy homemade Shawarma.

The other way out can be eating Shawarma at street-food stalls which are hygienic and ensure no contamination in the food.

THIS Indian street food had deadly bacteria present in its samples. Here's what consumers can do

The economic cost of the deadly pathogens affecting olive trees in Europe has been estimated to over €20 billion.

The team of researchers made projections for Italy, Spain and Greece, which between them account for 95 per cent&nbsp;of European olive oil production.

The&nbsp;study has been published&nbsp;in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

According to the study,&nbsp;it can cause damages worth&nbsp;€17 billion alone in Spain in the next 50 years.

A similar scenario in Italy would amount to over five billion, while in Greece, the losses would be under two billion.

Also known as Xylella fastidiosa&nbsp;pathogen is&nbsp;transmitted&nbsp;by sap-sucking insects such as spittlebugs.

The bacterium which has killed swathes of trees in Italy, now poses a potential threat to olive plantations in Spain and Greece.

Researchers have&nbsp;analysed&nbsp;the future adverse&nbsp;impacts of the disease which can&nbsp;increase the costs of olive oil for consumers.

Xylella is considered to be one of the most dangerous pathogens for plants anywhere in the world.

It can infect cherry, almond and plum trees as well as olives and&nbsp;has been&nbsp;associated with olives after a strain was discovered in trees in Puglia in Italy in 2013.

At present there is no cure for the infection which&nbsp;limits the tree's ability to move water and nutrients and over time it withers and dies.

Other then&nbsp;Italy, the Xylella bacterium has now been found in Spain, France and Portugal.
