A disturbing discovery was made by a man in Ghana after he purchased food from a street vendor. The man, who remains unidentified, found maggots in his jollof rice mixed with plain rice and chicken, which he had bought on his way to a construction site.
In a video shared on social media, the man can be heard warning others to be careful when buying food outside. “Outside food, be careful,” he says, pointing to the maggots in the chicken. “Instead of throwing away spoilt food, they would rather sell it. They won’t do things well. Fellow man will take this outside to sell.”
The video has sparked outrage and concern among social media users, with many calling for greater scrutiny of street food vendors to ensure food safety. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential health risks associated with consuming food from unregulated sources.
The man’s discovery has prompted calls for increased awareness and education on food safety and hygiene practices among street food vendors. The incident is also a wake-up call for consumers to be more vigilant when purchasing food from street vendors.
“Outside food. This morning I was off to site and decided to buy jollof mixed with plain rice. And this is what I have met. See what I found in the chicken, maggots. When buying food outside, be careful. Instead of throwing away spoilt food stuff, they would rather sell, they wont do things well. Fellow man will take this outside to sell.”
