Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has warned water producers, patent medicine dealers and other manufacturers of regulated products against selling fake and substandard products.<\/p>\n

Mrs Roseline Ajayi, NAFDAC Southwest Coordinator, gave the warning during a stakeholder engagement meeting organised by the agency on Friday in Ibadan.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

She said some manufacturers also failed to comply with the required packaging and storage standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, we observed that bread sold in the markets is failing laboratory tests because producers are using saccharine due to the high cost of sugar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are introducing ingredients that are not good for the health of consumers. We are not unmindful of the prevailing economic challenges, but the agency will not compromise its standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is pertinent to note that the quality and safety of regulated products cannot be compromised,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ajayi said that the engagement meeting was to solicit more collaboration and support from the relevant stakeholders for the agency to fulfil its mandate of safeguarding the health of the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the last year, several regulatory decisions have been made. Some have been gazetted, which are meant to strengthen and sanitise the practices in the regulatory environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll stakeholders must embrace the culture and requirements for good practices related to each sector to guarantee quality, safety and wholesomeness of regulated products available to citizens,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
