Fake Products: NAFDAC Tasked On Deployment Of Technology

Some Nigerians, who spoke to our correspondents have expressed worry over the damage these adulterated products would have done to their organs, unknowingly to them.

Recall that NAFDAC recently unveiled a list of adulterated products in circulation, especially different kinds of wine from a wide variety of brands ranging from Seaman Schnapps, Henessy, Four Cousins, Carlo Rossi, Jenney, Chelsea London Dry Gin, Schnapp Dry Gin, McDowells, Black Labels, Gordons, Martell, Campari, Smirnoff ice, Eva Non-Alcoholic Drink, Evra Non-Alcoholic Drink, Cartel, and others.

There was also date revalidation for expired products like Peak milk, Powdered milk, Ketchups, Yoghurt, Coca Cola products, packaging of fake and substandard products, which are later sold to unsuspecting members of the public for consumption.

NAFDAC said it raided over 240 shops turned factories where the harmful products were being produced and marketed, adding that the shops turned factories were very filthy, using water from very unhygienic sources, harmful chemicals, saccharin, colouring, dirty recycled bottles, and cloned packaging materials of other brands.

Following this, a lot of Nigerians have expressed their fears, as majority of them claimed they have been consuming some of these fake products.
