The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued an urgent alert, revealing that several bread products sold in Nigerian markets have failed recent laboratory tests.
This alarming discovery has raised significant concerns about the safety and quality of bread consumed by millions of Nigerians daily.
NAFDAC’s findings indicate that some bread samples tested do not meet the required safety standards, potentially posing health risks to consumers.
The agency is now intensifying its monitoring efforts and has warned the public to be cautious of the bread they purchase. Authorities are also working to identify and sanction the manufacturers responsible for the substandard products.
Consumers are urged to prioritize their health by purchasing bread from reputable sources and to report any suspicious products to NAFDAC for further investigation.
