The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has shut down a food manufacturing company (Every Rose Limited )for allegedly revalidating expired curry and thyme spices.
Available Records in NAFDAC showed that the company registered 16 different products for listing under the brand name SOMGEO, including SOMGEO Ginger Powder, SOMGEO Garlic Powder, SOMGEO Thyme Leaves and SOMGEO Mixed Spices Powder. The registration, however, expired on December 5, 2017.
In a statement signed by the Resident Media Consultant to NAFDAC, Sayo Akintola, on Sunday, Feb 7, the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, expressed her abhorrence of the act and disclosed that the company would be heavily sanctioned for endangering public health.
"We are ready to eliminate the incidence of falsified products in our markets or bring it down to the minimum to safeguard the health of our people," --Adeyeye
