The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned that consumption of imported frozen poultry products may lead to cancer, kidney diseases and hypertension.

According to the former NAFDAC Director-General, Dr Paul Orhii, froezen chicken is risky as substances that can predispose one to kidney, liver and lung diseases as well as certain types of cancers and drug resistant bacterial infections are contained in the products.




Medical experts believe that consumption of imported frozen poultry products can be a silent killer, without showing symptoms for prolonged periods.

In the views of veterinary expert, Dr Tito Adebanjo, the use of formalin, a chemical used to embalm corpses and other dangerous substances, is a cancer causing chemical capable of causing liver and kidney diseases.

“Some of these chemicals can predispose one to cancer, hypertension or cause antibiotic resistance in man.

The relentless drive to produce more animals, by some farmers – either abroad or locally – in less time at lower cost, is responsible for the routine and indiscriminate use of antimicrobial drugs in animal, including arsenicals, antibiotics, and other compounds.

“The concern, therefore, besides the effects on the livestock industry, is the fact that many analogues of these antibiotics are used in disease management in humans and could consequently add to the development of cross-resistance to antimicrobials administered in human health.”
