It's meant for preservation. Sniper is only dangerous when used raw but more of a preservative agent when diluted.
The trader is doing the right thing by preserving those beans with a diluted sniper.
The poisonous substances will evacuate the beans immediately when cooked due to the pressure exerted by the boiling point of the water. Hence, returning the beans to its normal state and then ready for human consumption.
If a less educated trader can know all these, imagine what she'll do if she's more enlightened. We have to step up our game in science and education.

This is a very wrong analysis. I doubt you're a science student.

The questions one should ask are :

1. Are the active ingredients volatile?

2. Are the residues volatile?

3. Do the active ingredients get absorbed or adsorbed into the grains?

4. At what concentration would the active ingredients be potentially harzadous? PPT? PPM? PPB?

It is only when these questions are answered SCIENTIFICALLY (which means a research must he carried out) that one can draw any conclusions about consuming products preserved using such means.

please stop spewing trash here and let's call a spade a spade that chemical is highly poisonous no matter how much you cook it, it will still be there. How can anyone with right thinking mind mixed such poisonous substance just to preserve beans when there are or less dangerous orthernative in the market no wonder lots of people are dying like chicken at a very young age these days!!!!

Please shut up! You don't know how the outside world works you just lay on your bed with your phone plugged to the charger close to you, log in to nairaland and form wise sage. Come back and say this when you are a farmer producing tons of beans or better go buy one very large bag of beans(50kg or so) and don't preserve it, or preserve it with your glorious "Alternative" option.

Even the white men you worship use dichlovors(Sniper as we call it) to preserve their cereals. At the end the dosage or concentration is what matters.

Thats for storage. To prevent weevils from eating it.

And spraying sniper on the beans is the best way to store them against pests? Your stupidity marvels me.

Its used as an insecticide, used in agric a lot.

I am more concerned about the dosage, that stuff should be applied appropriately in a controlled environment.

Is it meant to be applied on the farm or products in storage?

Fulani the don't knw any thing just like that their brother in aso rock

Something that has bn the practice for years and done to preserve grains like that.

“practice for years” makes it acceptable, right?
I just don't know why some of you litter the cyberspace. Did you see them stepping on the food we eat? “practice for years” too?

Best practice of all years. SMH

All Chemicals are dangerous and hazardous and should be treated so.
I had worked extensively on NOPEST in time past. It is an earlier brand in the market before Sniper.
Both of them has the same active ingredient DDVP and are used for same purpose when mixed at a particular concentration as advised by the manufacturer before use.

That's what sniper is for now

Lol.. You dey vex o. But why so angry?

The other name for sniper is dichlovors which is a preservative for storing beans worldwide. I think its just some few years ago that the EU lifted it ban on importation of Nigerian beans. Initially, Nigerian beans was banned because the concentration of dichlovors was far above the standard used worldwide, which has health implication especially that of the GIT. But, seems we finally comply to the world standard concentration for storage. Please don't be misled but informed

weevils like beans

I pity anybody still eating beans in Nigeria, this is wear 90 percent of the kidney failures in Nigeria come from ... this is a proof of the 65 average IQ in this country

Thanks for the thorough explanation, I also agree on the need for the beans to be parboiled and the first water filtered.
Thanks.

If you don't know something, the best thing is to ask.. Have you heard of DD force, Executor, Crush, Phostoxin tablets...all these are insecticides used for storing grain..same with sniper...

Like i said you are just an ignorant southerner who doesn't know how the world works and thinks he is smart just because he watch some Oyibo on TV. Even them use dichlovors(Sniper as we call it) for preservation of their cereals, The dosage is what matters and they have even lift the ban on our beans exportation because we have finally reach an acceptable dosage of your killer sniper. But here you are forming smart and intelligent and you don't even know any of your so called safer alternatives. Last last you go still buy beans wey them use dichlovors preserve unless you no wan chop beans again or even other cereals. I am sure it's your type that thinks Yam grows on trees.

I won't waste precious time educating you again, That's not my job.

Igbos are danger to the community.

Before suicidal peeps found solace in Sniper, it was originally a pesticide and still remains so.

It's not meant to kill the potential consumers, but to kill the weevils.

Swargu:

ok so boiling water exerts pressure to sniper and it will disappear from the beans?

Once snipper reaches its boiling point it will evaporate from the beans.

I can bet anything you are involved in same, that is why you don't see anything wrong in it!

This is exactly the reason Nigerian beans was banned by European Union! This is exactly the reason cancer cases are increasing in Nigeria. May God never forgives killers involved in poisoning people because of money

my friend just so you know doctor has advised me not to consume beans anymore maybe this is the reason that's why I am advocating for the ban on some dangerous chemical, imagine if I didn't heed my doctor's warning!!!!!! people die because of ignorance, they didn't knew that what they consumed is the chief reason for their demise because some people most especially you prefer money and more money more than human lives!!!!!!!

For your information, there are two good ways of preserving beans. One is to freeze it so that all the eggs die. This may be expensive and not feasible.

The second way us VERY CHEAP and low technology! Just buy 2 thick nylons per bag of beans. The 2 bags will be put inside the bag, then you fill it up. Then tie the first nylon, making sure to expell as much air as you can. Then tie the second nylon also expelling air. Then tie the bag itself. The science behind this is to limit the oxygen in the beans. The eggs will hatch and start eating the beans but will die as soon as they use up the oxygen in the bag as no new oxygen will enter the bag. Simple and the beans is safe for human consumption.
