NAFDAC CLOSE 54 SACHET WATER FACTORY IN NIGER STATE

Minna – The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Thursday said that the agency had sealed 54 table water producing factories in the state.

He said that the 54 sachet water factories were closed in Suleja and Minna for allegedly contravening the agency’s regulations.
Mantum said that the agency took the action following tip-offs that the factories were operating illegally, adding that the factories were closed as part of efforts to protect public health.
He stressed that NAFDAC would strive to be more proactive, warning that it would sanction any individual or organisation found wanting in compliance with extant regulations on water packaging.
