obi4eze: The newspapers aren't sterilized and may bear pathogenic microorganisms on them so it's not hygienic to use them to wrap edible food.

The truth of the matter is that scientifically n medically it is totally wrong....bt den we do these tins anyways n such that our system has gotten so used to it that it hardly has any effect on the human body

I know u like suya but it's not hygienic because the meat used could contain tapeworm or another worm called Trichinella spiralis (trying to remember the english name).

Childhood memories fa.

Kose with yaji or pepper/tankwa
masa with yaji/the sour miyan/sugar
suya with yaji/onion etc
jada with cement paper
wrapped with news (Inkjet) paper

not to forget mallam pesari or kashi around without washing hanu.

i wouldn't eat those now.

About time Nigeria do away with newspaper/cement paper wrapping.

Absolutely not hygienic!!

never gave me trouble in my life up till now.

But i think it can be served in a better way

ignorance is the worst disease anyone can have.
having read about the chemicals used in printing newspapers and found out about its toxicity,i've always rejected it use.
when used for akara(bean cake) and corn, the chemical gets attached to them,unknown to us we eat corn n akara wt chemicals.
even many people do not know that that it's not hygenic to expose package water to too much sunlight.
if exposed and frozen,let it defrost you'll see many 'student' playing football in it

Most of the water we drink aren't steril so you should expect that. Freezing or no freezing, those students are still there.

Ind Chm. Yeah related to health.

Afam4eva: There are lots of things that are not hygenic but we do them anyway. Our great grand parents have been doing worse but did not die from aids. What's the worse that can happen?

You die.

Better way can create more economic viabilties,cheap and safe packaging.

The newspapers aren't sterilized

Oga u funny o! Truth is that some of these worms are usually in the inactive form and can resist heat to some degree. It's only God that has been protecting us because if one analyzes the colonies of harmful bacteria on the suya, some people will not eat at all.

After roasting the worms die. But we all have worms in our our bowels so?

tpia@:
I dont have a problem with it.

And the newspapers arent dirty, they're just old newsprint that's being recycled.

Even fish and chips in britain is sometimes wrapped in newspapers- what's the problem?

Do you live in Britain Tpia?
How do you know fish and chips are wrapped in newspapers?

Ganys: Good & better, That was how i got the Contact number of the current Kwara State Governor
He placed advertorial for Contract on a National daily & asked interested bidders to call him then in his capacity as Commisioner for Finance.
I Bought Akara & Ojojo and decided to check the paper after eating..Whooah, i saw our Gov Direct line there. I was able to make millions with just that number.
I will continue buying akara & ojojo wraped with old newspapers. They might be a Gold mine

Lol. I was doing this research thing and my mind kept going to a newspaper article I had read somewhere - the information it contained would be mother lode of gold to the research I was doing. I knew the paper - The Guardian - but I had no clue as to the date and it was well over a year. I was into suya in those days and when I went for it an evening or two later, I couldn't believe my eyes. The mallam - God bless him - used the page to wrap the stuff for me! That was in 2002 but I still have the stained sheet filed away!

@Op
Paper does not on its own attract germs - that would also mean most germs can't survive long on it - so the risk of contamination should be low. But it can't be ruled out when you consider the handling, particularly, for instance, if the sheet used for you comes from the cover of the newspaper. Someone once reportedly got killed from drinking from a can - apparently someone handled the can with a tainted hand or dropped it somewhere not untainted. On the whole, I will say the risk of getting your food contaminated from having it in with a newspaper is slim but does exist.
