The spread of carbapenemase-producing  Enterobacteriaceae  (CPE) poses a serious threat to clinical practice and public health. These bacteria are present both in clinical settings and non-clinical environments. The presence of CPE in food stuffs has been reported, but sporadically so. Here, we screened for CPE in meat, seafood, and vegetable samples from local markets of Yangon, Myanmar. We obtained 27 CPE isolates from 93 food samples and identified 13 as  Escherichia coli , six as  Klebsiella pneumoniae , seven as  Enterobacter cloacae  complex, and one as  Serratia marcescens . All except the  E .  cloacae  complex harboured the carbapenemase genes  bla  NDM-1  or  bla  NDM-5 , while all  Enterobacter  isolates carried the carbapenemase gene  bla  IMI-1 . The  bla  IMI-1  gene was located in putative mobile elements EcloIMEX-2, -3, or -8. Using multi-locus sequence typing,  E .  coli ,  K .  pneumoniae , and  E .  cloacae  complex isolates were classified into 10, six, and five different sequence types, respectively. Our results demonstrate that diverse organisms with various carbapenemase genes are widespread in the market foods in Yangon, highlighting the need for promoting proper food hygiene and effective measures to prevent further dissemination.
