CHOCOLAT ROYAL: ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES FEEDING YOU POISON

Posted by Unknown

Been reading through different articles by bloggers and some newspapers on this Chocolat Royal shutting down debacle and I have so much unanswered questions running through my head.

Question 1: Chocolat Royal staff past and present didn't they notice these expired product?

2. Do these staff get to eat what they sell?

3. Owners and Family members will surely like to patronize their franchise; so what do they get to order when they come around or do they just sit around and watch their customers die slowly?

4. What role did custom officials play when they notice that these goods that are being imported into the country are expired or about to expired; how come these goods were cleared?

5. How come NAFDAC got a wind of this information over a year ago and never took action up until now?

6. Who blew the whistle on Chocolat Royal?

The funny side of these story is that only the Elite, celebrities, expatriates and wannabes frequent Chocolat Royal; holding business meeting, birthday parties, dates and the heart breaking side of it is their "Paint and Bake" advert for kids and my 7th question is what have they been feeding these kids all this years?

Chocolat Royal is truly where people come to pay high price for poison.

Chocolat Royal happens to be the scape goat at the moment; let's talk about other restaurants and eateries and what are the regulatory bodies doing to ensure that the environment are hygiene enough and the product they use to cook are not expired product?

I won't be surprise if people start blowing whistle on some of these restaurant.
Now let's talk about the importers in Balogun market what are they selling to us. A reliable source even mentioned that most imported can food had already expired and all they had to do was to change the date on the can and some of us don't get to check expiration date on what we purchase.

Nigeria have become the dumping ground for expired product because we have greedy people who only think about the now and not the later.

We stay in our glass houses to criticise the buka woman or the aboki selling food on the street calling them dirty while you seat back at your favorite restaurant eating the same food poison.

How often do you imagine what goes on in the kitchen of that favorite restaurant of yours? Oh! Ye OCD's

But Chocolat Royal Croissant and Ice cream sorry Poiscream make sense!!!

Maybe I can sue them; hmmm story for the gods in Olamide's voice.

My cousin sued Aunty Ajobi aka Drumstick in Abuja for food poison over a year ago they are still dragging the matter in court. Maybe when someone wins a case like this in court cwith compensation cheque and the news goes viral these restaurants and eatery will seat up.

A maybe answer to my number 5 question would be that the NAFDAC Official who got hold of the information then decided to have a private meeting with the owners and they concealed the information and now that NAFDAC Official has either retired or has been transfered to another unit or the new CHANGE in government got to him and the case file decided to appear.

With everything have heard so far I don't think I can trust any imported product especially can foods; the trend goes from importer importing expiry products or about to expire product and custom clears the products and the importer remove the original expiry date changing it to a new date and they supply to supermarket/retailers and we the consumers come in and buy them.

Hmmm this one don pass naija get thick skin matter oh!

Fact:

Nothing you eat in Nigeria that is imported is safe and we wonder why the sudden increase in cancer, kidney and liver diseases are common.

This is not a case of Poverty or survival; everyone wants to stay alive so if the awareness is there, they would avoid these poison.

We do urge NAFDAC to look into not just Chocolat Royal but other restaurants, eateries, supermarket, importers in balogun market and cold rooms.

They need to help us stay healthy by clearing these toxics out of our country and custom should pay more attention to what they clear into the country and we need to find a way to stay healthy until NAFDAC and other Regulatory bodies can control it. And food blogger should lend their voice #saynotofoodpoison.
