OP is 100 percent correct. My people, may food we consume here are adulterated even the drinks. I know people who import label of most popular drinks. In short, a word of advise, do not always go for popular items be it food or drink cos most ae fake. These greedy people focus on products that are in much demand. The red oil stuff is confirmed. If you are chanced, look for a miller in the east and get it direct. Or a trusted dealer. Becareful, my people. God save us! 2 Likes |

Onyegecha: I was shocked to learn that palm oil sold in our markets is heavily adulterated with some reddish substances.it kills gradually without u noticing it. If u wl live, say 95yrs, u wl dn live only 52yrs with health issues n die. because of all ds junks, WHO published dat average live span for Nigerian woman is 49yrs n for man is 51yrs. So wake up dude |

I have noticed that Palm oil is now very red as compared to the slightly dull red back in the old days. The gtoundnut oil is no longer golden yellow but looks like bleach or kerosene. Don't even get me started on bread, don't touch it anymore. I remember while growing up I could eat tomatoes my Mum bought from the market; it had a rich taste. But the tomatoes now has a funny taste. About the melon, its true. I have seen someone mixing grounded melon with something and them selling it. I want to point out that cases of kidney failure is on the rise. Have seen cases of 15 to 30 year old men and women requiring dialysis and talking about kidney transplant. They would talk about peopl sending something from their village without realizing its from what they eat. I pity those that visit road side chemist and ask for "drug mixtures". |

This is the secret about egusi: Buy it unshelled, break the shell yourself by hand and grind. Don't buy shelled or ground egusi, it may taste un-egusi. They now break the shell by putting wetted egusi in a sack and hitting the sack on a hard surface repeatedly. This process breaks the shell faster but turn the egusi brownish. To remove the discolouration, the egusi is "washed" in soapy water. Any egusi processed this way will have a bland taste - the ones sold in the market are almost all this type. Just take a few moment to break the shell one by one by hand with your family and have your natural-tasting egusi. 2 Likes |

Nigerians do adulterate food products. Wicked and greedy people sell bad products in the market ranging from impure water packaged in satchets and sold off as "pure water" to expired tins of milk, some even mix garri with sand! In my former street there was a shop owner who specialized in selling fake & expired products. He sold stale bread, rotten tomatoes, rotten eggs, stale buns, insect infested beans etc, the funny thing is that people bought from him! When they check other shops they can't find the items they will go back to "manage" the ones he had in stock.....smh 2 Likes |

Nothing like palm oil...I had to change my diet and cooked spaghetti that night! |

We need more supermarkets like Shoprite, Tesco, Sam's Club, and Carrefour here in Naija. Even the food not adulterated are sometimes sold in highly unhygienic conditions, and some are downright filthy. We as Nigerians deserve better. |

Onyegecha: I was shocked to learn from a very reliable source, that palm oil sold in our markets is heavily adulterated with some reddish substances.Back in Elele Rivers state, mum was into palm oil milling business, the women that come to buy the processed palm oil come with some kind of colourant which they add to the oil. There is an easy way of identifying such palm oil, you simply heat up the oil(bleach), an adultrated one will not turn whitish no matter how long U̶̲̥̅ heat it, because of the added colourant. |
