The National Agency for Food and Drug (NAFDAC) Administration and Control on Sunday declared openly the closing down of a food manufacturing firm over revalidation of expired Curry and Thyme spices.
The agency said the conclusion was taken in its renewed efforts to rid Nigeria of unhealthful foods and other consumables to safeguard the health of the people.
A statement by the Resident Media Consultant of NAFDAC, Sayo Akintola, said its Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, has articulated her detestation of the act.
According to her, the company “would be heavily sanctioned for endangering public health.”
