National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) operatives have sealed off a warehouse in Abuja that was said to be stocked with large quantities of expired and unregistered food products.
NAFDAC disclosed this via its X handle on Friday.
The regulator said its team raided the facility after uncovering it in Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.
The statement said the NAFDAC team busted the facility as the operators were “reportedly preparing to revalidate and resell expired items into the market.”
The operation also extended to an unnamed supermarket in Wuse 2, a highbrow area of Abuja, “where revalidated items from the warehouse were allegedly being sold to unsuspecting consumers,” the statement added.
NAFDAC said 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.
“Both locations were promptly closed for further investigation,” the statement said.
