ASHENEWS reports that the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has alerted Nigerians to the sale of counterfeit Arla Dano 14g full cream Milk Powder across states in Nigeria.
The agency, in a statement issued via its X handle, said that investigations by the TG Arla Dairy Product Enterprise company (Holder of Certificate of Registration) discovered that the counterfeited products were displayed openly in the market.
The statement said that the agency has directed its zonal directors and state coordinators to conduct surveillance and mop up the counterfeited Arla Dano 14g full cream Milk Powder across the states in Nigeria.
“NAFDAC implores distributors, retailers, and consumers to exercise caution and vigilance to avoid consuming, selling, or distributing counterfeit products. The products’ authenticity and physical condition should be carefully checked.
“Anyone possessing the counterfeit Arla Dano 14g full cream Milk Powder is advised to submit stock to the nearest NAFDAC office. Suppose you, or someone you know, have consumed this product or suffered any adverse reaction/event after consumption. In that case, you are advised to seek immediate medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional.”
NAFDAC therefore urged members of the public to report any suspicion of the distribution and sale of counterfeit or unwholesome packaged food products to the agency.
