NAFDAC shuts vegetable oil outlet in Kano
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it has closed a vegetable oil-packaging outlet in Gidan Ruwa, Airport Road, Nassarawa Local Government of Kano State.
Kasim Ibrahim, the coordinator of the agency in Kano State, announced this while addressing journalists in Kano on Monday.
“We have arrested one Alwalu Abdulsamat and sealed the outlet in Gidan Ruwa, Airport Road, Nassarawa Local Government Area.
“We have also intercepted a tanker at the premises discharging an unregistered vegetable oil into 25 litres of plastic labelled with a trade mark not recognised by NAFDAC,” Mr Ibrahim said.
The coordinator said the refilling of the vegetable oil took place in an unhygienic environment.
He said the tanker was meant for the distribution of petrol chemical products.
“We have sealed the premises and taken the tanker to our premises for further regulatory actions,” he said.
