buygala: hahahahaha.... you obviously have never been a science student. Not all microorganisms are harmful. some are even very useful. for example, yeast. Virtually everything we consume contain microorganisms, just that they are in permissible quantities. |

9jakohai: So what tainted the rice? Care to let us know? The tweets below were from the Minister of Health before NAFDAC were apparently coarse into rowing the path of propaganda set out by govt to save forex by discouraging consumption of foreign rice.

I listened to their statement on Channels TV yesterday and came to the conclusion that their declaration on the suitability of the rice based on a rudimentary laboratory report: floatation, sedimentation, 1 or 2 heavy metals (can't remember which) and micro-organism level was rather premature; because much more extensive tests would have been required to arrive at such conclusion. It seemed they must have determined that the rice was not plastic based only on the floatation and sedimentation tests alone i.e. whether it sank or floated in water and therefore IMO insufficient. Even if they were lacking proper equipment, i want to believe that there were still more that they could have done, including expected basic physical test characteristic that should exclude the rice from plastic e.g. fragility (rice should be more fragile/brittle than plastic), absorption (rice should readily absorb more water than plastic), ductility (plastic should be more ductile and malleable than rice), flammability (plastic should readily burn in a naked flame than rice). As for the microbial tests; yes there are tolerant limits for particular levels of certain micro organisms permissible for specific foods e.g. e. coli, streptococci etc that may indicate fecal contaminants from contact with soil or water etc. However, most micro organisms are heat labile and therefore would not survive the temperature attained in sustained cooking. My take on this therefore is that rice may not necessarily be unfit for human consumption but could still be safe to eat (based on these mere findings) if properly cooked, because most of the organisms could easily be killed off by simple boiling during cooking of the rice. 1 Like |

buygala: Bro microorganisms are beneficial to the human race.... some are harmful some are not... Don't jes talk out of ignorance.... without microorganisms, there's no life.. .. why do u think your food get spoilt after 24hrs,its because of microorganisms. That's one of the bad sides of microorganisms. One of the good side is that it aids digestion in your stomach Cheese, youghurt etc are made with the action of microorganisms Don't be ignorant man. |

MedicalSamwise: Mr wiseman... So Nafdac also has a limit for beneficial microorganisms in food items, since they didn't specify what micros they were limiting Going by the story, anybody with half a brain will decipher they were talking about the harmful micros. ..and it was on the basis of that I asked my questions So please sit down and try not to meddle in stuff you do not fully comprehend |

Bunch of clowns. Just like I said when this Fake news made the rounds, BULLSHIT !! Now that scientific tests( the only test that matters) has confirmed that it is indeed natural Rice, any other utterances to discredit the Rice is just the silly customs officials trying to save face for their knee-jerk , idiotic pronouncement on the matter prior to any scientific tests. Rice is rice. What the official' s definition of "Wholesome " ? As long as the rice doesn't contain harmful chemical preservatives, it is fit for consumption. Unless the correct duties were not paid for this shipment of Rice, the customs ought to release this shipment as soon as possible, in the interest of fairness , equity and justice. 1 Like |

there is a certain number of microorganisms that can be said to be within tolerable limits. I don't have these numbers in my head. if the microbial load in the said product exceeds this limit, the product becomes unacceptable. however, for certain microbes known as coliforms, the presence of even 1 renders it unacceptable. this is because for them to be present, then there is feacal contamination of some sorts. if you really want to know the number of limit for each microorganism, you'd have to consult official books or Google them. |
