Table 3 Food safety perceptions on chicken and eggs

Chicken and eggs

- Chicken are injected with antibiotics to fasten maturity;

- Broiler eggs are not naturally produced but contain antibiotics and growth boosters, harmful for human health.

- The commonly sold ‘kata kata’ (non choice cuts of parts of chicken including head, legs, wings, liver, skin, back and necks) may sometimes be meat from wild birds.

- It is difficult to verify the source of the chicken for quality checks, how they are slaughtered and handled.

- Excessive consumption is not good for human health;

- In young children, it can cause allergies.
