This is absolutely shocking! Can you imagine? Some people don’t bother about their state of health any more and worse, they are not mindful about other people’s either! Bread is an essential commodity in Nigeria. I mean, we all eat bread. Whether sliced or unsliced, french bread, wheat or sweetened bread, white or brown.Among the low class in Lagos Nigeria, the Agege bread is a very popular brand.
Agege bread is a local bread which is baked by low-cost bakers. But it is sad that some of these bakers have thrown caution into the wind. By this I mean that most of them do not d
o any hygiene check on their environment, or consider the health implication of the mode of baking this bread.For example, I stumbled into a local bakery just the other day, located near a pit-toilet!!! It is so appalling to think these bread baked is what is eventually sold to the public. (Sigh).
I think ALL bread baked in Nigeria should begin to be given NAFDAC number for the good health of Nigerians! Or is there any other action that can be taken to check the practice of these local bakers? We need to think good health, for good wealth.
Okay, when next you decide to buy Agege bread, just remember where the bread must have been
baked!
