A poultry expert, Mr Oduware Efe, has warned against the negative effect of imported frozen chicken consumption and encouraged Nigerians to patronise locally processed chicken.
He said that there were multiple inherent dangers of consuming imported frozen chicken because of the chemical used in their preservation process.
“These preservatives are done in these foreign countries to make sure the chickens have a longer shelf life so it does not get contaminated. “These metals have a negative ripple effect on our internal organs for such as kidneys, liver and even the lungs,” he told NAN. “When we import, we take jobs from Nigerians who are involved in the poultry value chain which involves production, processing, and marketing of locally bred chicken.
