NAFDAC Raids Lagos Warehouse, Discovers Unregistered and Expired Products

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a warehouse in Oke-Afa, Okota, Lagos, containing unregistered and expired goods.

In a statement posted on X.com (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, November 20, NAFDAC revealed that its officials raided the facility after acting on intelligence. During the operation, they apprehended individuals unloading a 20ft container filled with unregistered carbonated drinks.

Further inspection of the premises revealed 14 rooms stocked with expired and unregistered products, some of which had been contaminated by rats due to poor storage conditions.

The statement read:
