Suya as it is being made and sold in many places
should not be eaten because of the risks and
dangers associated. I will try as much as possible
to explain this in very simple and clear terms.
This is to enable even a layman read and understand the message of this post. I promise not to mention terms such terms as benz[a]anthracene, Fasciola hepatica and Taenia saginata. In fact, forget I mentioned those three.

All I just want you to know are the risks and dangers
associated with eating just any Suya.

What is Suya?

If you are reading this, you probably know what Suya is. But by way of definition, Suya is a spicy skewered meat which is a popular food item in various parts of Nigeria and is enjoyed as a delicacy in many parts of West Africa. It is traditionally prepared by the Hausa people of northern Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, and some parts of Sudan.

Health and Safety Issues Associated With Suya
Consumption Forget the dirty environment and
poor or zero hygiene conditions in which Suya is made and handled in many places in Nigeria, there are other dangers that are inherent in the
consumption of Suya

– those that many would never know unless they are
Food professional or have come across an article like
this that explains it.

Suya and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

You know when they say Cigarette kills? It is majorly
due to the PAHs they contain. Many Suya sellers
make their Suya by burning all sort of woods and
charcoal to make their fire. Some even throw in such
things as plastics to make their ember burn brighter
in order to cook the Suya meat. Many of these
materials burning under the meat contain these
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons — and do you
know what these PAHs do in the body after enough
consumption or exposure?

1. Some PAHs are chemical carcinogens (cancer-
causing compounds) while seven PAH compounds
have also been classified as probable human
carcinogens.

2. Some PAH compounds are mutagens. Mutagen is
a physical or chemical agent that changes the
genetic material (DNA).

3. According to a finding, reported in an article on
health.usnews.com, high prenatal exposure to PAH
is associated with lower IQ and childhood asthma.

Potential of contacting zoonotic diseases

A zoonotic disease is a disease that can be passed
between animals and humans. Since Suya meats are
generally undercooked and in rare occasions
carrying some blood on them, there is a chance
that one could contact zoonotic diseases from Suya.

Take for example, during the Ebola Virus Disease
outbreak, we were warned to stay away from Monkey
and Bat meats. There was also a stern warning to
always cook our meats very well before we eat them.
Cooking meat very well cannot really be said of Suya.

Beef Tapeworm (Taenia saginata)

This is commonly known as the beef tapeworm –
a zoonotic tapeworm. Like it was mentioned above,
humans majorly get infected by consuming
undercooked beef. The infection is may come without any noticeable symptoms but heavy
infection can also occur with attendant symptoms. Heavy infection often results in weight loss, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches, nausea, constipation, chronic indigestion, and loss
of appetite. Heavy infections may cause intestinal obstruction in humans — this can be alleviated by surgery.

Suya can be very delicious and make a good delicacy
if well cooked and appropriate types of woods are
used for smoking.

For example, it is advised to cook/heat the Suya meat
to a safe internal temperature around 80 degrees
Celcius or more. Avoid adding plastics or fuels such
as kerosene to the fire to make it burn better.

Finally, let me say that eating moderate amounts of
smoked meat (Suya) without charring to a safe, yet
medium temperature should not not pose a problem.

Suya can't kill white people too.

Heating meat directly kills every form of bacteria and/or parasite present. Keep those many reasons in textbooks where I hope no one reads them.
