This is according to a statement on Thursday titled, ‘NAFDAC meets MAN, reassures consumers of safety of Indomie noodles in Nigeria.’
In the statement, made available to The PUNCH by NAFDAC Resident Media Consultant, Sayo Akintola, the agency “assured consumers of Indomie and other noodle brands in Nigeria of the safety of the staple food amongst children and some adults, insisting that investigations by the agency have revealed that Indomie Noodles implicated in the recalls in Malaysia and Taiwan is not in Nigeria.”
It quoted the NAFDAC DG to have made the disclosure during the quarterly interactive session between NAFDAC and the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria. NAFDAC had early last month launched an investigation after Taiwan and Malaysian authorities said they detected a compound called ethylene oxide, a potentially cancer-causing substance, in Indomie’s ‘special chicken flavour’ which led to the recall of the product.
