Introduction: Food poisoning is one of the major illnesses around the world.Eating spoiled food is the leading cause of food poisoning.The reason behind is that spoiled food has a huge number of diseasecausing bacteria, which include Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus.Medicinal plants are equipped with phytochemicals like tannins and flavonoids etc.More than 70% of the people in poor nations relies on traditional drugs made from plants.As a result, people are looking for such herbal plants more often.Above 500 medicinal plants have been identified and used in Asia, and about 800 medicinal plants have been used in the traditional medical practices of the region (Oladeji et al., 2020).Hippocrates, approximately 2500 years ago supported the maxim, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," and it is currently gaining popularity.Nutrition and healthcare are closely related in traditional societies, and many plants have been used both as food and medicine (Singh, 2018).Objective: The current study aim to authenticate the antibacterial potential of Cinnamomum cassia (Cinnamon) and Moringaoleifera (Sohanjna), using their ethanolic extract.The test strains include Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus.
