Some unhygienic practises of Food sellers.

         

Everybody wants to make money. Everybody likes money. The food industry is one of the biggest industry in the world because we can not do without food especially me I don't know about you ooo. In Nigeria, there abound many food sellers.  They are divided into different categories we have Tush sellers(Classy sellers), Average sellers and lastly, Mama Put .
          From my experience, I have noticed that the tush sellers and average sellers always try to maintain optimum hygiene though, not all. Some have fallen below standard. But what of Mama Put ? We have so many Mama Put around that some people cant do without them  like students, averagely paid workers, labourers and the likes who visit Mama Put restaurants on a daily basis. Some of the Mama Put  mode of operandi is nothing to write home about. The way they handle utensils like the knife a very important kitchen machine can lead to contamination of the raw food materials.
           For instance, some food sellers expose their soup just in a way to attract customers . Aside that, it tends to attract flies and a host of all other insects. Germs, dust polluted air will all settle in that pot of soup. Now you can see Two troubles One God.
           If the environment and the sellers are untidy every time you visit your Mama Put its a warning signal to quit if they don't change. Use of previously used dirty water to wash plates. Some food sellers can be lazy to change water they use for washing plates except for those that have flowing water from the tap.

Note : Anytime you are hungry and you must eat in a restaurant, don't  jump at the food. If you don't eat the food at that moment you will not die.  Consider the hygienic situation of the food and environment. Also ensure that it is ok by looking out for the things I mentioned above and other things not mentioned. It could be a warning signal.

Food is good but can be harmful when one ingests bad food.
