Bayelsa suspends unhygienic processing of imported cowhides

The Bayelsa State Government in Nigeria has suspended the unhygienic processing of imported cowhides, commonly used for food, due to concerns over public health risks. The decision followed a joint inspection by the Commissioner for Health and officials from the Environment and Agriculture departments, who discovered unsanitary conditions including the use of contaminated water and improper storage. The government has established a multi-sectoral monitoring team to enforce food safety standards, inspect facilities, remove unsafe products from circulation, and conduct health screenings for food processors. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious food processing activities to authorities.
