Man Raises Health Alarm Over Eggs Sold in Nylon Bags Amid Price Surge

Man Raises Health Alarm Over Eggs Sold in Nylon Bags Amid Price Surge — 1 of 3
1 / 3

A Nigerian man, Kelvin Onovo, shared his shock after spotting vendors cracking eggs and selling the contents in small nylon sachets known as akwa agbara agba. Each pack holds about five eggs and goes for ₦500 in local markets. Onovo warned that removing eggs from their shells exposes them to bacteria, since shells serve as a natural barrier against contamination. He noted the growing trend is driven by rising food costs and is worried about its safety. He asked fellow consumers: “Is this even healthy?” and invited opinions on what might drive this practice and its potential health risks.

I find the health scare a bit exaggerated; hygienic handling matters more than the packaging material.

Selling eggs outside their shells could expose them to contamination if vendors don't maintain proper hygiene standards.

I no see how cracking eggs into sachets truly saves cost, na waste if quality and safety aren't guaranteed afterwards.

Vendors using sachets should ensure each pack stays chilled and sealed, and buyers must inspect freshness before purchase.
