NAFDAC warns Nigerians about fake drinks, food, and drugs
The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has expressed concern over the prevalence of counterfeit and adulterated beverages, food products, and medicines in the country, warning that these pose significant health risks to Nigerians.
In a statement issued in Abuja, the Agency’s Director General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, cautioned Nigerians to avoid consuming fake and adulterated drinks, particularly during the festive season.
Prof. Adeyeye also advised the public to steer clear of roadside drug vendors, highlighting that their storage conditions are often inadequate, and many of the medicines they sell are counterfeit.
“Do not buy medicines in the corner store or just somebody that has a kiosk or hawks around. Go to a pharmacy store to buy medicine.
”It could be costly, but please bear in mind that we are in this economic storm because many people do not have the money
“Do not buy it because it is cheap as it can cause harm, affect health, or cause death.
”Drinks are the most falsified during seasons, we just have to be very careful,” she said.
Prof Adeyeye advised Nigerians to be vigilant and look out for products that do not carry NAFDAC’s registration number and expiry date before purchase.
