I would suggest that the FG tell the world the country or countries where these rubbish & dumps come from into our country. By doing so, such countries will desist from sending substandard products to our country.

If Nigeria exported a substandard product outside its shores, the world will get the news that it is coming from Nigeria

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has released its findings on a test conducted on the much talked-about plastic rice.



The acting Director-General of the agency, Yetunde Oni, made public the findings at a press briefing on Thursday in Abuja.

Below are 5 key of her points:

1. Mrs Oni said that though the rice was found not to be plastic, contrary to media reports, it was still “unwholesome for human consumption”.

2. Mrs. said that the rice failed NAFDAC integrity test which thus ruled it out for human consumption.

3. She noted that ‘based on the laboratory result, the product is not plastic but rice contaminated with microorganisms above permissible limit.”

4. She said the consignment would be destroyed once handed over by the Nigeria Customs Service.

5. It was also revealed that several metric tons of expired and dangerous rice are still lying in wait at warehouses in neighboring countries with Nigeria as their target markets.

This is nothing but scare mongering to scare people aware from buying foreign rice. There us nothing wrong with that rice but they just have to play along with the govt on their plan.

Forget government propaganda abeg!

Speaking as someone who knows people whose lives were affected badly by fake imported drugs, I doubt that NAFDAC or someone in government would deliberately taint rice to stop Nigerians from eating imported rice.

Also, keep in mind that not every importer of rice are good people....some of them are bad people who won't mind importing substadard products so that they can make quick money....it does not matter to them if people die. Thank God NAFDAC is at least trying to stop them.

And keep in mind also that there are good importers whose imported products pass NAFDAC tests too.

If you like....eat tainted rice. Na you wey go suffer. As for me....high time we stopped being a dumping ground for all sorts of tainted products. It is in our interest.

Madam Nafdac, please what's the national limit for micro - organisms in our food items?


And please, are there nationally recognized micro - organisms approved for human consumption by Nafdac?

If yes, please give us a list of them and also indicate their "permissible limit" smiley

Per oral foods and other products are usually not required to be sterile (completely free from micro organisms) as such, permissible limits are set for such items. such limits vary for different microorganisms however. but generally, Salmonella and E. coli should not be present

This country is a scam. Trust me, there are too much hidden facts.


I said it but some people were too dull to reason it out.


1.Tell me, how would plastics be made into rice to have d same weight as rice?

2. If no.1 is possible, what's the cost of such production?

3. How on earth would yhu cook a plastic rice and it end up like a normal cooked rice without some sort of melting that ends the whole thing into a mess?


I have serious ish with our present youths. Too dull to reason. We jxt go wt d wave. Too too bad.

Now, itz another story and yhu all will jxt take it hook n sinker.

For me, the real truth behind the seized rice hasn't bin told.

Sorry for fake government, fake leaders, fake, fake, fake everything!!!! Smh.

NAFDAC is either wholly INCOMPETENT or have a huge gap in human capacity and expertise.

The Rice is made out of part Potato and part PLASTIC Hence the name plastic rice.. does NAFDAC even utilize their research function optimally?

Here is a real story

We still have registered Pure Water Sellers selling contaminated water

We still have tradomedical practitioners selling concoctions that cure mental illness, HIV/AIDS, Infertility, STD, Arthritis, Sexual Stamina and Back2Sender All-in-One bottle with NAFDAC Registration Number. HOW?

Thanks you Sir. ..but the question still remains...

What exactly are the permissible limits for the different microorganisms?

And you mentioned just Salmonella and e coli ..please what about

Clostridium Botulinum
Vibrio cholera
Tetanus
Aspergillus
Staphylococcus
Streptococcus
Syphilis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Are these ones and many more Nafdac approved oral microorganisms? sad

generally, coliforms and not just the two i mentioned are supposed to be absent in oral preparations and foods. not that they are nafdac approved but rather their presence suggests feacal contamination. I cannot start listing the limits for each microorganisms right now. perhaps you could Google that out. am sure you know that microorganisms are ubiquitous and as such it is inevitable to have them present in foodstuffs, water, etc. that is why limits are being set in CFU/g or CFU/ ml as the case may be. thanks.
