Contaminated food is one of the country’s major causes of health concerns, and some roadside food sellers prioritize profit over quality. This one-act jeopardizes our health because some roadside food vendors perform unimaginable things merely to increase their sales.

Well, in this article on EKO HOT BLOG, would be looking at some reasons you must avoid eating food from roadside food sellers.

1. Some Cook In Dirty Environment

Some roadside food sellers occasionally cook in an unclean environment, which gives the food advantage of being contaminated, and when we buy and eat for a length of time, we get typhoid fever or bad stomach pain as a result.

2. Use Of Wrong Ingredients To Attract Customers

There have been several rumours that many roadside food sellers use paracetamol to cook their food, just to attract customers.
