Nigerian dietitians have issued a warning advising people to stop boiling eggs and rice in the same pot, citing potential cross‑contamination risks from bacteria such as Salmonella.

The advisory aims to protect public health by preventing foodborne illnesses linked to mixing these foods during cooking.
