The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered and shut a warehouse for stocking expired food and cosmetic products worth over ₦75 million in Kaduna.
NAFDAC disclosed this on Tuesday, noting that workers at the warehouse located at PP2A Bayajidda Street by Kano Road, New Ogbomosho Road, during the raid were caught repackaging expired biscuits into sacks.
The agency said that other expired items, including dairy milk, vegetable oil, soft drinks, and detergents, were also discovered.
“The warehouse’s Managing Director has been arrested for interrogation, and stringent regulatory sanctions will follow to deter similar unethical practices,” the regulatory body stated.
It advised the public to stay vigilant and report suspicious products or activities to its nearest office.
