The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has raided a warehouse in Oke-Afa, Okota, uncovering unregistered and expired supermarket products.
Why it matters: The raid, carried out following intelligence gathering, highlights the agency’s ongoing efforts to protect consumers from unsafe goods, especially as the festive season approaches when the demand for food and beverages surges. The raid also raises concerns about the prevalence of unregulated products in the market and the importance of vigilance in ensuring food safety.
Go deeper: NAFDAC officials acted swiftly after receiving intelligence about illegal activities at the warehouse. Upon arrival, they discovered operators unloading a 20ft container filled with unregistered carbonated drinks. Further investigation revealed that the warehouse contained 14 rooms stocked with expired products, some of which were contaminated by rats due to improper storage.
Quote: “The facility has been placed on hold, with all operations suspended pending further investigation. NAFDAC has invited the management to provide sourcing evidence,” NAFDAC said.
