NIGERIA AGENCIES FOR FOOD, DRUD ADMINISTRATION AND CONTROL BANS NOODLES IN NIGERIA

 Indomie Super Chicken



The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control's Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, has hinted at the causes of the "Indomie Super Chicken" flavor's ban in Nigeria

 

Adeyeye claims that the agency has begun sampling and testing other flavors of Indomie noodles, along with their seasonings, for the presence of ethylene oxide. Fewer clinical trials, registrations, and productions of the flavor were mentioned by Adeyeye. 

She assured Nigerians that the products would be thoroughly investigated at both the factory and market levels. 

The results of the sampling and analysis of the products, according to Adeyeye in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday and signed by the agency, would be made public.


"The instant noodles sold under the Indomie brand and other brands registered by NAFDAC for the Nigerian market are produced in Nigeria. Only after passing a rigorous regulatory process that addresses all facets of good manufacturing practice is NAFDAC registration status granted. The Malaysian and Taiwanese Ministries of Health have recalled Indomie Instant Noodles 'Special Chicken Flavour' due to the potential presence of ethylene oxide, a substance linked to an increased risk of cancer. This is known to the management of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). 

 

NAFDAC is moving quickly to expand the investigation to other brands of instant noodles sold to Nigerians and to randomly sample and analyze Indomie noodles (including the seasoning) for the presence of ethylene oxide.


We use this channel to reassure the public that a complete investigation of the products will be carried out at both the factory and market levels. Additionally, the general public is hereby informed that NAFDAC has not authorized the implicated Indomie Instant Noodles Special Chicken Flavour for sale in Nigeria. Noodles cannot be imported into Nigeria because they are on the Federal Government of Nigeria's Import Prohibition List, the speaker continued.
