BB date applies mainly to food products and the implications are very different from what we have been led to believe. That a food item has exceeded its best before date does not mean it has totally become unfit for consumption. It basically means that the product should not be expected to meet quality standards after that date.

Does a product that does not meeting quality standard fit for consumption.

Xtristopher:
You will never see any stuff that passes it BB date on a shelf in a sane society either it is still edible or not it can only be there by mistake

For where you wan see am?
Is it in a sane country where every animal and meat products are thoroughly inspected, labelled and graded accordingly by public health inspectors, standard organisation, regulators with clear tags?

But here in Nigeria, someone can decide to bring rotten, even smelly meat to sell to consumers in the marketplace and be smiling to the consumers and nothing would happen.

Sadly most sellers are aware of the expiration but are after their selfish gain at the detriment of potential buyers.

THE DANGERS OF SOME COMMON FOODS IN NIGERIA
Dr. Abayọ̀mì Ògùntoye

I promised to write about what is killing people in Nigeria today. Nigerians should be focused on solving these problems instead of fighting over GMO which they don't understand yet. These are what is causing most of the cancer going around now:

1.) Ripening agent for banana and plantain. Because people are in hurry to harvest their bananas and plantains. they spray them with Calcium carbide. This is a ripening agent and makes the plantain ripen very quickly. It is extremely hazardous to the human body as it contains traces of arsenic and phosphorus.

So anytime you buy ripe plantain in the market chances are you are buying plantain ripened with Calcium carbide.

Solution : Buy unripe Plantains and Banana and keep them inside a black plastic for few days, it will ripen naturally.

2.) Most Nigerian farmers, if not all of them use a chemical called "Sniper" as an added ingredient for pest control. Sniper is potent and it scares me. It is a DDVP, 2,2-Dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate compound. An organophosphate that readily binds to the lungs and kidney causing cancer. It is almost in everything you eat in Nigeria.

Solution : You are on your own here because it is everywhere.

3.) Weevil control in Beans with Aluminum phosphide (AlP). This is the most dangerous food pollution in Nigeria. Because weevils can destroy the entire year's harvest of the farmer in a few days. They drop tablets of Aluminum Phosphide inside each bag of beans.

They think that one tablet is enough to drive weevils away from the bag of beans. Yes they are right, but that one tablet can drive weevils away from an entire Silo of 50 tons of beans. Do the math yourselves.

Unfortunately, it is now one of the most common causes of food poisoning in Nigeria. It liberates lethal phosphine gas when it comes in contact either with atmospheric moisture or with hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Solution: Eat beans with Weevils.

4.) Chicken from China preserved using embalming substances. The same used to embalm dead bodies in Nigeria.This is a cancer causing substance that kills slowing. How else do you think chicken gets to Nigeria from China without a proper cooling system.

Solution: Eat only local chicken. don't buy frozen chicken. if you can't see it running around don't buy it!!!!!! Don't eat at Eateries. Stop using your money to buy death.

The farmers don't want to kill people, but they are uneducated and don't know that they are committing mass murders. And then, they don't have the appropriate tools to deal with the challenges they have.

NAFDAC too, in Nigeria, has become just another self-serving government agency like "we took care of ourselves" NDDC. NAFDAC officials no longer go to markets or farms. They glide around in official cars to go and extort budding manufacturers. They sit in their offices all day discussing bonuses, appointments, promotions and how they were denied the "lucrative posting". Like the Raw Materials Development Commission , and over 100 other government agencies a useless and total waste of money.

This is why the European Union, United States don't want to have the Beans, Cocoa, Plantain, Yam and Pineapple exports from Nigeria. Everybody is scared of Nigeria's irresponsible public service and Nigeria's cancer-intense, disease-riddled agricultural produce.

It has nothing to do with racism or because they are evil white people.

Britain, the EU and the US repeatedly and tirelessly warn Nigeria to clean up its extremely poisonous farm produce. Nigerians eat killer foods.

Even the Coca-Cola we drink is banned in the UK. A Nigerian businessman lost money trying to export Bottled-in-Nigeria Coca-Cola to the UK as it is supposed to be cheaper here because of lower labour costs. The UK Food and Drugs Office calls the Coca-Cola, Sprite etc that we drink, cancer-Cola.

*The EU and the US are simply fed up with the reckless mass murders of Nigerian agriculture.*

Wait. WAIT ! !!

Read this all over again and *commit it to your memory.

Omo x 100 😮

BB : Best before and expired are two different thing.

Almajiri children eat chemical expired food and toxic drinks yet, they are stronger than you.

Is not the expire date that is killing you, its your sins.....

That was how my colleague nearly lost her niece cuz of expired malaria medicine that was sold to her by a professional doctor...she was rushed to the hospital...
We all have to be very careful.

Items with bb dates can survive couple of months without causing any harm to human body after consumptions...
But supermarket takes this items out the shelf and guess what the workers takes these item home

THE PRODUCT NOT YET EXPIRE
WE HAVE PD MEANS PRODUCTION DATE
AND WE HAVE BB BEST BEFORE WHICH MEANS IT WILL EXPIRE AFTER THE BEST BEFORE DATE

Expiry date applies mostly to Pharmaceuticals, biologicals/botanicals and chemical products.

And when it no longer meets 'quality standards' how come it remains fit for consumption... .... Nigerians eh..

coputa:
Does a product that does not meeting quality standard fit for consumption.

Don't mind them. Just trying to be clever by half. If a product loses its quality, it is no longer the product. It may not kill you but it is not worth buying.

Forget the silly technicalities.

They are selling a product below quality at a premium price. Major stores with some level of integrity do mark down prices for products close to their BB dates. Let's not excuse "deception" under the guise of being well-informed. Some unscrupulous shops do make new BB labels to cover the old ones. Now explain that.

You can deceive your tongue and your eyes but you cannot deceive your internal organs such as liver, heart, kidney and lungs. People please be very careful.

Oga no come confuse anyone here...BB or expiry date na the same thing.....wetin don expire don expire simple!

Regex:
Who told you milk and malt helps to recover strength?

I thought so, but if you better just tell us

ponishah:
I know that our doctors and nurses contribute sometimes to patients' death, every sector in the country is like that too.
But, most times patients die quicker than normal because of expired food, drugs and drinks etc.
Yesterday, Easter Monday, I was feeling weak from malaria symptoms; bitter taste bud and low appetite. So I decided to drink milk and malt at night. Because I lost a healthy neighbour last week, that fear made me remember checking the expiry date of the milk, which I had almost opened.
The milk was produced in 04:22 and expiry date is 04:23, to me it had already expired because of our high temperature. I called the customer that sold it to me, and she said she bought them last month. I have told her to destroy them.

A lot of things we buy are expired items and we eat, drink and get complicated health issues. Most of us forget that soft drinks (minerals) and bear have expiry dates, and whole sellers always sell off the drinks that are very close to expiration at give away to retailers.
And World Health Organization should modify the font and positions of expiration dates on products, especially in third world nations.
NAFDAC died with Dora Akunyili, SON is the most corrupt of all.

PLEASE HELP YOURSELVES, ALWAYS CHECK EXPIRY DATES OF ITEMS BEFORE PAYING FOR THEM, OR AT LEAST BEFORE EATING OR DRINKING THEM.
Maybe we should also do a #ENDNAFDAC, #ENDSON ...

mods, na life matter be this o...

Oga hunger kills faster than expiring date

Okay, but are you in anyway justifying the sale of expired drugs?
Condemn what is bad first, then carry on with your advice.

that's a subtle way of saying expired!

TheManPregnant:
Your analogy does not apply here. The explanation was given as it regards food items only. Get some education bro! It's not hard.

Kindly take it easy on him.
Nairaland is filled with frustrated, negative energy Nigerians.

Nigerians and wickedness


Some wicked Nigerians will clean an expiring date of an expired product. And stamp a new dates .

Bunch of wicked and heartless people.

Warmaterial:
If real hunger wire u u go forget to check anything...

And this is the kinda mentality most Nigerians carry about.
