The phenomenon has clearly taken on phenomenal proportions in recent years.

Street vendors have multiplied in the face of the silence and inertia of local officials. In the absence of any regulation, everyone improvises as a seller of something. And anarchy sets in. Businesses that did not exist are now flourishing everywhere. Boiled chickpeas, bread with olive oil, tea, in short, home cooking that travels the streets and avenues.

Mohammed V Boulevard, right next to the central market, has become a testing laboratory for new recipes. At dawn, on Mohammed V Boulevard, around the street carts, a number of onlookers gather who have only one concern: to eat! However, these small makeshift businesses operate without prior authorisation and escape all sanitary control. This is already the case for snacks and eateries of all kinds, where the presence of the hygiene services of the Sidi Bennour municipality has never been seen to check kitchens, products, shelf life, the cold chain break, and other serious causes likely to lead to food poisoning. So, from there to controlling street vendors... But unfortunately, the products are very often spoiled. But the price being attractive, everyone finds their account there. As much the merchant as the customer who does not ask himself in what hygienic conditions it was concocted.
