NAFDAC Raises Red Alert On ‘Poisonous’ Noodles
The National Agency For Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has warned lovers of noodles in Nigeria over the purchase and sales of a particular brand of noodles in the country.
The food and drugs regulatory body in the country specified that a certain Maggi noodles produced by Nestle India, should be avoided by Nigerians.
It noted that these noodles contained excess lead and were therefore deemed unsafe and hazardous for human consumption.
“Nestle has recalled its Maggi instant noodles from stores across India following the report by the Indian Food Safety Regulators of probable lead contamination. Lead exposure causes an estimated 143,000 deaths a year worldwide.
“In view of the potential safety concerns on consumption of the lead contaminated Maggi instant noodles, NAFDAC warns that Maggi instant noodles produced by Nestle India should not be consumed.
“Departmental stores, wholesalers and retailers should also be proactive in ensuring that such products are brought to NAFDAC if they come across any, and under no circumstances should such products be sold,” NAFDAC said.
