The Nigerian food market is currently facing an alarming crisis. As I delved into recent reports, I was overwhelmed by the extent of adulterated foods flooding our markets. Palm oil, a staple in many Nigerian households, has been found laced with dangerous substances like dye, lard, and other harmful additives. These revelations, brought to light by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), have left consumers exposed to severe health risks.
Adamu Abdullahi, the acting executive vice-chairman of the FCCPC, recently raised the alarm about this disturbing trend. According to Abdullahi, profit-driven traders are compromising consumer safety by contaminating products with hazardous additives. The consequences are dire, consumers risk facing serious health issues such as abdominal pain, brain damage, liver disease, and even cardiac arrest. These substances pose significant health risks, highlighting the urgent need for rigorous food safety measures.
In a time when Nigerian consumers are bombarded with adulterated food products, there is a search for brands that have remained committed to integrity and consumer health. One of those brands is Golden Terra Oil. Their dedication to purity and health has garnered the trust of many, offering not just a safe cooking oil, but a promise of well-being in every drop.
Golden Terra Oil’s commitment to consumer safety goes beyond rigorous quality control. The brand invests heavily in sourcing the finest raw materials and employing advanced processing techniques to ensure that every bottle of Golden Terra Soya Oil meets the highest standards of purity and nutrition. Their transparency initiatives, including detailed labeling and consumer education, empower consumers to make informed choices about their health.
It’s a brand trusted by mothers for their families and chosen by health-conscious individuals for its purity and health benefits. A good oil has higher levels of good fats than bad fats. Bad fats, known as saturated fats, should be avoided, while good fats, such as polyunsaturated fats including Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, are beneficial for health. These components are known to help reduce cholesterol levels, support cardiovascular health, and provide essential antioxidants to combat free radicals. The oil is also recommended by cardiologists, including Dr. Adanijo Monisola, for its heart-protective properties.
Probal Bhattacharya, Chief Marketing Officer, TGI Group, emphasised the brand’s dedication to purity. “At Golden Terra Oil, we understand the critical importance of purity in our products. We are committed to providing only the highest quality oil, free from any adulterants or harmful substances.
