Objective  The study aims to assess the burden of intestinal parasites and Salmonellosis among asymptomatic food handlers at meal serving facilities in Sodo town. Antibiotic resistance was also common and increasing among  Salmonella  isolates with multidrug resistance as current concern.    Result  Community based cross-sectional study was carried out from 387 food handlers working in meal serving facilities. Food handlers, 159(41%) had one or more intestinal parasites.  A. lumbricoides  was the most prevalent parasite 30(7.8%), followed by  Taenia  species 26(6.7%) and  Hook worm  23(5.9%). A total number of 35  Salmonella  isolates were found of which Sero-group D was the most frequent, 17(48.5%) followed by Sero-group C, 12(34.3%), and B 6(17.1%). Ten (2.5%) isolates were  Salmonella typhi . Raw meat eating, hand washing after toilet and after touching dirty materials showed significant association with intestinal pathogens.  Salmonella  isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin (85.7%), amoxicillin and tetracycline 74.3% each. Multidrug resistance prevalence of 81.8% was identified. Periodic screening of food handlers is important in order to prevent the transmission of intestinal parasites and Salmonellosis. Treatment needs to be based on accurate laboratory detection to mitigate the spread of drug resistant  Salmonella  strains.
