This kind of products should be last for minimum of two years, it most likely spent six months at the market.from production,packaging, warehousing, invoicing, distribution and to the retailer
Re: Too Many Expired Foods And Drinks Sold And Consumed by mechanics(m): 7:56pm On Apr 19, 2023
The retailer's should endeavour to check expiry dates when buying goods, I do check mine, if I see that the months is close and it may not finish before then, I won't buy.

So a good item that passes it's moment of quality standard means that it's still good for consumption?


You lots are irredeemably *..............d.

How can you be consuming something that it's best moment has expired?

Like giving you options for a wife.... But you chose to go for a woman that is 80yrs old. And you claim she's still going to perform as a wife.

Next time try and do a little research before you start throwing gibberish around. While trying to sound smart, you ended up being the *............d one

There is a very big difference between "Best before date" denoted as BB and expiry date.

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

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.


When you have BB date on product and no expiry date.... What do you then do? Does it now mean that the product wouldn't meet quality standard only and will not expire?

Thank you for the brief explanation, many people are ignorant of the two words.
See this person blaming everybody but he himself is not doing himself any good by drinking milk with Matthew mixture curdled after mixing ,who is killing who?
Most Pharmaceutical especially the powdered ones maintain their potency after years of expiry date . There was a study carried out in the USA at military base where they discovered that some drugs were potent after years of expiry dates.

This is exactly why Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they get. This is a very stupid comment.
In the UK chicken and fresh meat gets cheaper once its evening time. You won't find expired products one shelves.

òdè... after best before date item is not fit for consumption, there are preservatives in every processed food than can become toxic after best before. In developed countries, for the fact that the date is even close to best before maybe 1 to 3 months before , they dare not put it on display for customers or food inspectors
don't consume after best before o, joor....even if it is cheap. some are not medically fit to handle little stomach complications

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

His analogy is correct whatever definition you give on expiry and BB is rubbish so I should consume an egg of over 1year cos the BB date is January, you can do better if you don't know eggs have BB date also even fruits in supermarket.

Do you know some of he's containers (metal packages) become dark with time, stop consuming nonsense cos u read something from google

African man mentality is what kills us all, you yourself know that products are not stored or kept in the right temperature and condition in Nigeria.

Stop trying to justify rubbish abeg

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.

Now I understand why the wealthy Nigerians spent significant monies just to eat healthy in this contraption.

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 ...

Honestly speaking, in Nigeria if you want fresh milk, you have to go and suck the cow yourself.

Even the milk have expired before manufacturer release them to the market.
