The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Administration and Control, Prof Moji Adeyeye, says Nigerians who consume food stored in the refrigerator for more than three days are at risk of contracting diseases.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Adeyeye urged stakeholders in the food supply chain to take deliberate actions to institute a food safety culture in their operations to mitigate food hazards and risks that could compromise food safety.
Adeyeye warned that cooked food stored in the refrigerator for days can be contaminated by disease-causing pathogens that can lead to death.
She noted that food safety is a collective responsibility and that everyone, from producers to consumers, needs to play their part to ensure food safety.
