@martins.iluyomade: This is one of the ways counterfeit food products find their way into Nigerian markets. During a recent discovery, we identified suspected counterfeit versions of a candy product being brought into the country from China. What is particularly concerning is the method of concealment. The products were hidden inside other cartons, apparently to evade detection by NAFDAC and other regulatory agencies. This shows why the fight against counterfeiting must extend beyond our markets to our ports, borders and distribution channels. We must continue to strengthen surveillance, thorough inspections and collaboration among relevant agencies to prevent these products from reaching unsuspecting consumers. Those who engage in counterfeiting are often driven by financial gain, with little regard for the risks their actions pose to public health. At NAFDAC, we remain committed to identifying and disrupting these activities. Protecting Nigerians requires vigilance at every stage of the supply chain. #NAFDAC #CounterfeitProducts #FoodSafety #PublicHealth #ConsumerProtection
