NAFDAC releases list of adulterated drinks circulating in Nigeria

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has released a list of possible adulterated drinks circulating in the country.

NAFDAC released the list on Monday in Abuja, saying it recently burst some producers of the counterfeit wine, soft drinks and other consumables in Eziukwu Market in Aba, Abia state.

The Director-General (D-G) of the agency, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, who disclosed this to newsmen at a press briefing, stated that the operation was carried out following a leaked information to the agency.

She said that NAFDAC carried out several weeks of intelligence gathering and collation of data on the activities of these ‘merchants of death’ in collaboration with other security agencies.

 

The NAFDAC boss said that the agency carried out the sting operation in the market to burst the criminal operation taking place there.
