Bread sold in markets failing laboratory tests — NAFDAC raises alarm

Share
Share

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has revealed that bread sold in the markets is failing laboratory tests because producers are using saccharine due to the high cost of sugar.

NAFDAC warned water producers, patent medicine dealers and other manufacturers of regulated products against selling fake and substandard products.

Mrs Roseline Ajayi, NAFDAC Southwest Coordinator, gave the warning during a stakeholders engagement meeting organised by the agency, on Friday, in Ibadan.

Ajayi said that the report gathered by the agency during its recent operation revealed that some patent medicine dealers were selling restricted drugs and unregistered products.

She said some manufacturers also failed to comply with the required packaging and storage standards.

“Recently, we observed that bread sold in the markets is failing laboratory tests because producers are using saccharine due to the high cost of sugar.

“They are introducing ingredients that are not good for the health of the consumers.

“We are not unmindful of the prevailing economic challenges, but the agency will not compromise its standards.

“It is pertinent to note that the quality and safety of regulated products cannot be compromised,” she said.
