ALERT: Be Wary Of Poisonous Plantain Chips, Lagos Tells Residents

Consumers of fried plantains popularly known as “plantain chips,” have been warned of unwholesome processing and frying adopted by sellers including its implications on health to avoid food poisoning

The Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency gave the caution on Tuesday in a statement on its official X account, in reaction to a viral picture showing a “plantain chips” seller adding polythene known as “rubber” into hot vegetable oil used in frying the plantain.

Expressing concern about the unhealthy practice, the agency in the statement said, “in light of this alarming discovery, the agency, therefore, advised all consumers to exercise caution and be vigilant about where they purchase their plantain chips in order not to ignorantly expose themselves to any harmful substances or preventable food poisoning.

“The agency is presently investigating this discovery and will take appropriate actions to protect consumers and hold accountable those responsible for the dangerous practice,” it noted.
