Objective  The study aimed to assess enteropathogens carriage rate and risk factors among apparently healthy food handlers at Wolkite University cafeteria, Southern Ethiopia.    Results  Cross-sectional study was conducted among 170 food handlers to collect socio-demographic and related data by using structured questionnaires. Stool samples were collected and subjected to microscopic examination and cultured to determine intestinal parasites. Among the total study participants, 66% of them were found to be carriers of enteropathogens: bacteria ( Salmonella typhi ,  Shigella  species), and intestinal parasites ( Ascaris lumbricoides , Taenia species, Giardia lamblia ,  Entameoba histolytica/dispar ,  Enterobius vermicularis ,  Hook worm  and  Trichuris trichiura) . All  Salmonella  and  Shigella  isolates were sensitive to ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and gentamicin. A significant association was found between hand washing practice before food preparation and isolated pathogens [p = 0.013]. A significant proportion of food handlers were found to be carriers of pathogens which require a periodic screening and antibiotic therapy monitoring.
