The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC) has said that its officials in Lagos uncovered a warehouse in Oke-Afa in the Okota of Lagos, stocked with unregistered and expired supermarket items.

The agency said the warehouse was busted following intelligence received about the activities of the operators of the warehouse, adding that the operators were also arrested during the operation.

In a statement issued on Wednesday on its social media handle, NAFDAC said its team raided the facility, during which they arrested the operators while offloading a 20ft container filled with unregistered carbonated drinks.

“A further inspection revealed over 14 rooms packed with unregistered and expired products, some of which were contaminated by rats, indicating poor storage conditions.

“The facility was placed on hold, with all operations suspended pending further investigation. NAFDAC has invited the management to provide sourcing evidence, including the Global Listing for Supermarket Items (GLSI) certificate,” the agency added.

NAFDAC, therefore, warned of the risks posed by unregulated products, particularly as the festive season approaches.

It urged consumers to remain vigilant by verifying product sources and reporting suspicious activities to the nearest office.
