The National Agency for Food Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has sealed off a bakery over alleged use of unfortified sugar and banned bromate in Sokoto State. The NAFDAC State Coordinator, Mr Garba Adamu, revealed this on Friday, adding that the bakery was detected during a special raid by agency officials.
Adamu stressed that only fortified registered sugar containing vitamin ‘A’ with micro nutrients and other vitamins are allowed to be sold and consumed in Nigeria. ”This is a Federal Government policy enforced by NAFDAC and other government agencies to ensure that consumers get the maximum nutritional and other health benefits from the produced products.
”Bakeries are monitored to ensure that they don’t use saccharine or other banned items as a substitute to fortified regulated ingredients,” Adamu said. He warned producers against using adulterated, counterfeit, unregistered and expired items in their places, stressing that NAFDAC would continue the enforcement at all the times.
