A Nigerian food content creator has raised concerns after noticing signs that some street vendors may be adding detergent to the water used to boil eggs for sale.
In a video shared online, she explained that a neighbour first told her that some egg sellers add detergent to prevent the eggs from cracking, make them cook faster, and make the shells easier to peel.
Curious about the claim, she decided to investigate and said she spotted detergent among the items carried by an egg seller.
She later visited an area where some vendors boil their eggs and claimed she noticed a strong detergent smell, empty detergent sachets sc@ttered around, and foamy water in the cooking pot.
Although she admitted she did not personally see anyone adding detergent to the water, she said the signs raised serious concerns about food safety.
She urged Nigerians to be cautious when buying boiled eggs from street vendors, noting that the practice may not be common among all sellers.
