The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it has uncovered a warehouse in Oke-Afa, Okota, Lagos State, stocked with unregistered and expired supermarket items.
NAFDAC made this disclosure on Wednesday night in a statement it shared on its official X account.
“Acting on intelligence, a NAFDAC team raided the facility, apprehending operators offloading a 20ft container filled with unregistered carbonated drinks,” the statement read.
“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.”
The agency said it has invited the management to provide sourcing evidence including the Global Listing for Supermarket Items (GLSI) certificate.
It also warned of the risks posed by unregulated products, particularly as the festive season approaches.
NAFDAC has further urged consumers to remain vigilant by verifying product sources and reporting suspicious activities to its nearest office.
