See How Some Fast Food Joints in the Country Could Be Wrecking Your Health

Nigerians are reportedly served meals that could impair their health in many of the fast food restaurants available in the country, thanks to the craze to increase the profit margin.

The Leadership recently paid a visit to several fast food restaurants in the country and filed the report below:

Among the discoveries are filthy environment, especially areas of production where hygiene is appalling, staff condition is scaring including their health status, unsure source of food items, including meat, fish and other vital supplies and customer lavatories among others.

Other areas are the state of meals served especially those served in the early hours, state of food and raw material preservations and storage facilities, drainage and sewage leakages into boreholes and the total absence of supervision from local authorities in charge due to pervasive corruption among the spectrums of mind bugling abnormalities in the food industry.

Many visitors to fast food joints often get infected by food poisoning but mostly, had no idea of where or when they contracted the infections and these have led to many hospitalised and even death. The common bacterium in food according to medical experts is staphylococcus or E.coli. Other germs and toxins that may cause food poisoning include campylobacter enteritis, cholera, salmonella and shigella.

Of particular interest was the scene at a popular eatery along Niger Street in the metropolis, where cobweb was threatening the meals displayed.

With just a few inches to the display counter, spiders had a web and restaurant staff never bothered. When a staff’s attention was called to the ugly scene, he simply said: ‘don’t mind them, its only money the owners are after’.

On further interrogation, he revealed that since the parent company in Lagos decided to franchise the brand to individual investors, the fortunes of the brand nosedived. According to him there are too many malpractices in the restaurant.

On assurance that his name will not be mentioned in print he said: “Do you know where we get chicken? All they do is just to go to a poultry farm and buy chicken without caring if the birds are healthy or not. In fact, some poultry farmers on realising that their birds are sick will just approach fast food vendors to buy at cheap prices. Ideally, there are designated poultry companies recommended by the main company in Lagos for all franchises to patronise but these people out of greed will cut corners.”
