The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC has uncovered a warehouse in Zone 4, Wuse, Abuja, containing large quantities of expired and unregistered food products.
Among the expired items confiscated were Cornitos Crusties Nacho, Chaunky Mango, Mother’s Recipe, Nacho Crisp, Paneer Makhani, Palak Paneer and Dal Tadka with the haul valued at approximately 87.5 million naira.
It was gathered that the facility was reportedly preparing to revalidate and resell expired items into the market.
The operation extended to a supermarket in Wuse 2, Abuja, where revalidated items from the warehouse were allegedly being sold to unsuspecting consumers.
While revealing that both locations were promptly closed for further investigation, NAFDAC urged consumers, especially during this festive season, to remain vigilant and report any suspicious food products to the nearest NAFDAC office for immediate action.
