"Micro - organisms above permissible limit "


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"

Thanks a lot Ma for your anticipated cooperation

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.

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.

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

Don't be ignorant man.

masonkz:
Not good enough.

Agencies in Nigeria lack proper research and Investigation skills thoug.

You did findings. What were the basis of your research? We the masses deserve to know.

What is "Nafdac Integrity test" made up of? What are the stages??

"Based on the laboratory results". What were these laboratory results? We deserve to know, especially in order for prospective farmers to be aware of the exact micro organisms to stay away from.

Research is for learning. Don't just bring us some half baked "findings". There are still educated people out there.

Thanks a lot... You just cleared my misunderstanding of the issue


Like you said. .. a simple "the sanitary quality of the rice is low" would have been sufficient instead of all that grammer about microorganisms and limits

buygala:


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

There is nothing wrong with opposing the policies of the current administration. It is good and just to do that. We need a viable opposition in Nigeria so that we can be on the right path.....especially as one can be wrong some of the time.

However, to wish death on one's political opponents is the height of despicable behavior. It is not sane and principled opposition, and it reveals the person as being nothing more than an evil and vindictive fellow.And the excuse that opponents of your preferred political champion do the same is not tenable, as it merely reveals you as being just another vindictive person.

As Nigerians, it is high time we learned to engage in politics without bitterness and vindictiveness. By all means criticize Buhari. I do the same, and I am not a fan of his government. Neither was i a fan of most previous governments of Nigeria. I wish they could have done better. But, at the same time I was ready to appreciate the good things they did....and that means, for example, appreciating GEJ for railways investment, or IBB for DFFRI and NDE, and NDLEA, and Abacha for cleaning up the banking system, to give a few examples.

But do not call for his death. In so doing you are giving in to the same evil and vindictive force that has caused so much tears and bitterness in our country since independence. You do not have to let bitterness and anger invade your mental and spiritual space. Because at the end of the day, it will do you more harm than the target of your attentions.

Good morning.
