The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has sealed two Chinese-owned supermarkets in Abuja’s Jabi District for selling unregistered and improperly labelled products.
The agency confiscated and evacuated offending products worth over N170 million during the enforcement exercise.
According to NAFDAC, the supermarkets were selling food items and products labelled exclusively in Chinese, violating the agency’s mandatory labelling policy requiring English translations for the Nigerian market.
In a related operation, eight cosmetics shops at Wuse Market were also sealed for selling banned, expired, and unregistered cosmetics, aphrodisiacs, and aesthetic medicines.
NAFDAC warned that such products pose serious health risks, including skin cancer, kidney damage, irritability, and memory loss.
