The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has advised Nigerians against storing cooked food in the fridge for more than three days.
According to the Director General of NAFDAC, Mojisola Adeyeye, cooked food stored in the refrigerator for days is susceptible to contamination by disease-causing pathogens, key agents of foodborne diseases that can lead to death.
Mrs Adeyeye was quoted in a statement Tuesday signed by NAFDAC’s Resident Media Consultant, Sayo Akintola, at an event organised to commemorate the 2024 World Food Safety Day (WFSD).
