“…The present study revealed that most of the samples purchased contained high bacterial count ranging from 3.0 × 10 3 cfu/ml (control) to 2.2 x 10 7 cfu/ml (HSP2) which is in agreement with the findings of [30] who reported bacterial count ranging between 5.1 × 10 3 cfu/ml to 2.0 × 10 8 cfu/ml in kunun-zaki sample. Similarly, [32] and [33] reported a total bacterial count ranging from 5.0 × 10 4 cfu/ml to 2.0 × 10 6 cfu/ml and 1.0 × 10 2 cfu/ml to 8.9 × 10 4 cfu/ml respectively in kunun-zaki.…”

“…However, the pH range observed in this study is lower than the report of [28] and [29] who reported 3.0-3.14 and 5.50 respectively for locally produced kunun-aya. Also, [30] reported pH range of 2.64-5.0 in kunun-zaki. The low pH values observed in the study is desirable as reports have shown that low pH values give advantage to fermentative organisms over spoilage organisms [31].…”

“…Sabon-Tasha had the highest TBC of 3×10 4 6 cfu/mls to 81.67×10 6 cfu/mls obtained by [4]. But however, it fell within the range of findings by [1], [8], [9], and [11] 4 cfu/mls and 5.0×10 4 to 1.79×10 5 cfu/mls, and. The high bacteria count therefore might be as a result of unclean water used in the preparation of the kunu, poor hygienic practice, exposing the kunun-zaki to dust and flies.…”

“…These organisms are opportunistic pathogens that can cause disease in immunosuppressed people, they cause diseases such as respiratory and urinary tract infections (UTI), diarrhea, gastroenteritis, wound, etc. The contamination may be as a result of cross-contamination unnoticed or through poor hygienic practice by the food handlers [1], [5], and [6].…”

Two hundred samples of freshly formulated Kunun-zaki, a locally fermented non-alcoholic cereal beverages were obtained from local hawkers in five (5) different locations in Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State, Nigeria and screened for enteric bacteria. They were analyzed using the Spread Plate Method. The pH of the samples ranged between 3.00 -7.50 and total bacterial count ranged between 2.0 × 10 4 -9.0×10 5 cfu/ml. The microorganisms recovered were Esherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis and Citrobacter freundii. The frequency of the occurrence of the isolated bacteria were: Citrobacter freundii 14 (58%) Esherichia coli 3 (13%) Proteus mirabilis 5 (21%)) and Proteus vulgaris 2 (8%). The percentage of contamination in each location is as follows: Television 20%, Sabon-Tasha 15%, Mararaban-rido 12.5%, Kujama 7.5%, and Narayi 5%. There was a significant difference in the rate of contamination (P > 0.05). The presence of these bacteria may be a serious health concern as these organisms are involved in causing various diseases. Therefore, hygienic measures should be taken in processing and handling of the product being sold to general public.

Risk assessment is a formal process of identifying hazards and assessing the risk associated with them (risk is a combination of the severity of illness and the probability of occurrence). This review highlights foodborne disease hazards reported in beverages consumed in Nigeria for the period between 2000 and 2020. Based on a preregistered protocol and search syntax, studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases. Rayyan QCRI software was used to screen the articles. Data were then extracted from the included full-text articles, into a standardized excel workbook. A total of 18,762 articles were identified, from which 126 were included in the final analyses. The common beverages studied were sachet water (14.9%), borehole/well water (13.9%), cereal-based beverages (12.1%), raw/fresh milk (8.3%) and nono/nunu, which is a fermented milk-cereal beverage (7.2%). Sufficient data were available to undertake pooled prevalence estimates for some hazards within select beverages and revealed contamination rates for Staphylococcus spp. in raw/fresh milk, 12.3% (95% CI 6.3-20.0); Salmonella spp. in borehole/well water, 19.8% (95% CI 13.1-27.4); Klebsiella spp. in sachet water, 40.0% (95% CI 12.4-71.7); Staphylococcus spp. in nono/nunu, 32.6% (95% CI 14.7-53.8), and Escherichia spp. in nono/nunu, 30.7% (95% CI 21.9-40.2). Heterogeneity was present in the aggregate summary estimates. This review has highlighted the presence of several hazards of high importance to public health in commonly consumed beverages in Nigeria. The data presented here provide an entry point for future quantitative risk assessments both to determine the level of exposure of the community to these hazards and also for the identification of the most effective mitigation strategies to reduce these risks and improve health outcomes in Nigeria.
