The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it did not approve any herbal teas for smokers.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has dismissed claims that it approved a “long-cleansing herbal tea” for smokers.
Adeyeye was reacting to claims made in an advertisement that the herbal tea “cleans the lungs of smokers”.“The attention of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has been drawn to a misleading video circulating on social media, alleging that NAFDAC approved the registration of a herbal product claiming that “smoking is healthy” when used with their product,” the statement reads.
“The unscrupulous individual behind this product had applied for registration, but the application was outrightly rejected due to the unsubstantiated and dangerous claim that smoking could be made “healthy” by consuming the product.“NAFDAC remains steadfast in its mandate to protect public health and ensure that only safe, effective, and scientifically substantiated products are approved. We condemn any attempt to mislead or endanger the public with false claims.
