## Abstract
Bacterial contamination can occur in the cutlery. Poor hygiene of cutlery has animportant role in the growth and spread of bacteria. The research is aimed to provide an overview of food handler hygiene and the bacteria on cutlery at Elementary School of Barrang Lompo. It uses an observational method with a descriptive approach. The sample of research consisted of 2 (two) types, namely food handlers, and cutleries. Respondent data was obtained by using questionnaire instruments and observation sheets. Bacteria in cutleries are examined using the swab method. It found 46.7% and 53.3% gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, respectively. The types of identified bacteria were Bacillus sp, Enterobacter hafniae, Enterobacter cloacea, Enterobacter aerogenes, Acinobacter calcoaceticus, Alcaligenes faecalis, and Klebsiella sp. Based on observations on food handlers, personal hygiene has not been done well, especially on hand hygiene aspects.
