Street food (SF) consists of ready-to-eat food prepared and sold on the street. This food constitutes the food traditions of local populations in many countries of the world. SF characterizes a large number of cities around the world, from New York to Paris, from Palermo to cities of North Africa, China, India and Japan. SF is inexpensive and prepared following traditional methods that meet local consumer preferences, culinary culture and lifestyles. Moreover, SF allows a unique experience for tourists who also want to experience a destination through traditional food consumed on the street together with the locals. Nevertheless, SF is linked to several health hazards. Hence, several studies discussed on the compliance with hygiene and food quality requirements that SF vendors should guarantee, to ensure human health. So far, there is no bibliometric review attempting to provide an objective and comprehensive analysis of the existing scientific documents that simultaneously study the scientific topic of SF linked to that of Food Safety (FS). Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework of the interactions between studies on SF and FS topics, in order to discover if the combined topic of "Street Food Safety" (SFS) was investigated as a topic in its own right. A bibliometric analysis was carried out analyzing 276 scientific contributions from the last 21 years, indexed in the Elsevier Scopus database and in the Clarivate Web of Science database. The results showed a very strong interaction between the two topics and many others in several scientific sectors; In particular, the topic of SFS involves many disciplines of social sciences. The results highlight that the scientific topic of SFS exists but not consciously, and it is believed that the research interest in this topic can grow considerably in the coming years, also because of the current COVID-19 pandemic situation that we are experiencing.
街头食品（SF）是指在街头制作和销售的即食食品。这种食品构成了世界上许多国家当地居民的饮食传统。街头食品是世界各地众多城市的特色，从纽约到巴黎，从巴勒莫到北非、中国、印度和日本的城市。街头食品价格低廉，采用符合当地消费者喜好、烹饪文化和生活方式的传统方法制作。此外，街头食品为游客提供了一种独特的体验，他们也希望通过与当地人一起在街上食用传统食物来体验一个目的地。然而，街头食品与若干健康危害有关。因此，一些研究讨论了街头食品摊贩应保证的卫生和食品质量要求的合规情况，以确保人类健康。到目前为止，还没有文献计量综述试图对同时研究与食品安全（FS）相关的街头食品这一科学主题的现有科学文献进行客观和全面的分析。因此，本文的目的是提供一个关于街头食品和食品安全主题研究之间相互作用的理论框架，以发现“街头食品安全”（SFS）这一综合主题是否本身就作为一个主题进行了研究。进行了文献计量分析，分析了过去21年在爱思唯尔Scopus数据库和科睿唯安科学网数据库中索引的276篇科学文献。结果表明，这两个主题与几个科学领域中的许多其他主题之间存在非常强的相互作用；特别是，街头食品安全主题涉及许多社会科学学科。结果突出表明，街头食品安全这一科学主题存在但未被有意识地研究，并且据信由于我们目前正在经历的新冠疫情形势，未来几年对该主题的研究兴趣可能会大幅增长。
