NAFDAC has taken action by shutting down bakeries and table water factories in Rivers state for producing fake and unwholesome products.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Control (NAFDAC) has taken decisive action by closing down ten bakeries and eight table water factories found to be manufacturing fake and unwholesome products.

In a statement released by the agency on March 27, it was revealed that some of the factories were operating under unhygienic conditions and using popular brand names without proper authorization.

The agency initiated the raid following meticulous investigations, surveillance, and consumer complaints regarding substandard products in the area.

The statement further highlighted that many of the bakeries lacked proper registration with NAFDAC, while others possessed expired licenses or had relocated without informing the Agency.

Additionally, certain water factories were discovered to be operating without necessary filtration equipment and failing to adhere to standard production processes.

NAFDAC has urged non-compliant producers to promptly renew their licenses and cautioned against flouting regulations, emphasizing its dedication to ensuring consumer safety and product quality.
