“These are good food preservation practices that we have to still continue if we have the means to do them and get them done well,” he said. Mr. Antwi emphasised that traditional food preservation methods were safe but should be approached with caution when modern alternatives are also available. He expressed concern that, due to adulteration, it could be challenging to distinguish between correct and incorrect traditional methods. “Understanding expiration dates, practising good hygiene in the kitchen, and utilising appropriate preservation methods can significantly reduce food waste,” he said. He encouraged those who can confidently and skilfully employ traditional methods to continue doing so.
