Food Poisoning: FG Advise Nigerians To Practice Personal Hygiene by gistok6: 9:11pm On Jun 13, 2019
The Federal Government has advised Nigerians to maintain adequate personal hygiene at all times to avoid food poisoning. MrnFubara Chuku, the Chairman, National Food Safety Management Committee (NFSMC), Fedearal Ministry of Health, gave the advice during a sensitisation visit to food handlers at Karu abattoir near Abuja.

Chuku stressed the need to wash the hands regularly especially after playing with animals, using the bathroom, touching a cut or open sore, sneezing, blowing of nose and coughing. He said there were some food toxins that could not be killed by just cooking the food, so Nigerians must be extremely careful of what they eat.

Mrs Stella Denloye, the Country Officer, Partnership for Aflatoxin Control in Africa (PACA), said thatmlong term chronic exposure to aflatoxin consumption could result in liver cancer, immune suppression and stunting in children. Denloye described aflatoxin as a natural poison produced when certain mold species grow in foods.

She added that exposure to high levels of Aflatoxin could be fatal. She noted that aflatoxins could contribute up to 30 per cent of all liver cancer globally with 40 per cent occurring in Africa. She warned that food could get contaminated during pre-harvest, harvesting, handling, storage, processing and transport stages of the chain, if conditions were unfavourable.

She mentioned foods like maize, peanuts, dried spices and tree nuts as the most likely foods to contain aflatoxin. She added that in livestock, aflatoxins could cause weight loss and death, while chickens fed with contaminated feed lay 70 per cent less eggs than those on normal diets. She however noted that aflatoxins were not destroyed during cooking or normal processing practices such as fermenting, boiling, cooking or baking. She therefore advocated for biological control and good agricultural practices, dietary diversification, good post-harvest practices and food regulations.

True talk FG... But una too get part to play for the matter coz FG also needs to make our environment to be sustainable. And for real, hygiene is very essential in our daily activities and we all need to adopt the habit of cleanliness. No be say some people coz of money go dey sell to their fellow Naija chemically ill foods all in the name of gain and selfishness.

Scientists under the umbrella of The Nigerian Food Sciences and Technology Institute went to inspect markets in Abuja (Utako and Garki Market.) yesterday. The things they discovered are heartbreaking. People who fry akara, puff-puff, yam, meat, fish etc use transformer oil mixed with vegetables or groundnut oil to fry the stuff. Ariel detergent is used to ferment cassava for fufu, fish sellers spray sniper on dry fish to keep flies out. In our abbatoir, tyres and used plastics are used to roast slaughtered animals which are sold in the market.
Please avoid food cooked outside your home if you can. We are veryyyyyyyyyy wicked to ourselves. We can see one of the reasons internal organ failure and cancer have continued to increase . Even young children and adults who live healthily still come down with all sorts of diseases.
My dear colleagues let us help get the message out to the public by creating awareness among our populace!!
Getting it out there is very important via blogs, twitter, radio, TV, CBOs etc !!

govt has to sit up, the use of formalin to preserve meat and fish by market people should stop, the spraying of pesticides like sniper on beans should stop these things are slowly killing people.

our poultry is bombarded with antibiotics thanks to the crazy method of rearing chickens that emphasizes profits over consumer safety.

sometimes its better to grow your own food.

The highest standard of hygiene will not keep diseases out. only an understanding of nature, and a holistic lifestyle will! because everything is rigged to our detriment. as far as packaged foods and radiation is on the rise, if you like be clean like 'bill clinton', you will not escape sicknesses and diseases! to the big corporations, profit far outweighs your health!
