Food Safety Must be EveryoneN6,000s Business – NAFDAC

The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Administration and Control, Prof Moji Adeyeye has come out to urge Nigerians to refrain from storing cooked food in the refrigerator for more than three days.

She recently revealed this via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, stakeholders in the food supply chain should take deliberate actions to institute a food safety culture in their operations to mitigate food hazards and risks that could compromise food safety.

She added that food safety has to be everyoneN6,000s business because it can only be a shared responsibility.

Her words, “I urged Nigerians to refrain from storing cooked food in the refrigerator for more than three days, warning that cooked food stored in the refrigerator for days is susceptible to contamination by disease-causing pathogens, key agents of foodborne diseases that can lead to death.

Let us all stay true to the statements ‘food safety is everyone’s business’ and ‘food safety is a shared responsibility’ as we celebrate this year’s World Food Safety Day. Working together, we will continue to strengthen our food safety system, ensuring its resilience, robustness, and preparedness for the unexpected.”

WOW.
