ABEOKUTA—Ogun State government has raised an alarm over the discovery of poisonous cattle hide and skin otherwise known as ‘Ponmo’ in some markets in the state, warning the people against its consumption.

The government said some unscrupulous businessmen were taking advantage of the gap in demand and supply of the soup ingredient popularly called ‘Ponmo’ to sell industrial ‘Ponmo’ laden with tanning chemicals to the unsuspecting public.

The state commissioner for Agriculture, Ronke Sokefun raised the alarm, yesterday, while addressing stakeholders and ‘Ponmo’ sellers in her office, in Abeokuta.

Sokefun explained that the toxic ‘Ponmo’ otherwise known as ‘imported ponmo’ is often brownish black, foul smelling, abnormally thick with layers and ridiculously cheap compared to the certified ponmo.

According to her, what is being sold is raw hide meant for leather production from African and European countries like Sudan, Italy and Japan.

“Tanning chemicals like biocides and fungicides are added along the processing chain to preserve the hides against protein degradation, bacteria and mould growth that would have damaged the hides and skin,” she said.

Ponmo.
Why would it be imported in the first place. And if it is to be imported, there has to be an acceptable standard for the ones to be eaten and the ones in making products.
Even though I don't like eating Ponmo I think adequate measure has to be taken by resturant owners and citizens with immediate effect as to where they source their ponmo

.

For every ponmo lover , it's time for us to be on the look-out.

I don't want to entertain the idea that ponmo would be banned.

PONMO TOO SWEET PASS SWEET.

Hmmmm.. May God continue to protect us against poison in everything we eat cos even the real ponmo is been soaked with chemical, to make it swell, so as for the sellers to make overwhelming profits for themselves..

If no be money wey person dey find come city, na just for person to relocate back to village to eat fresh food from the farm and not all these chemicalised foods here.. May God continue to save his people.
