The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has uncovered an illegal herbal product manufacturing facility in Agege, Lagos State, products bearing falsified agency registration numbers
Penpushing reports that the agency made the disclosure in a statement published on its verified X handle on Wednesday, explaining that the operation followed a report concerning herbal products bearing falsified registration numbers.
The agency in the statement said its investigative team conducted surveillance and subsequently discovered three variants of Asheitu Adams Bitters bearing National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) registration number A7-1827L.
“Verification through NAFDAC’s NAPAMS portal revealed that the registration number belongs to Greentol Cough Syrup, confirming its fraudulent use on the herbal products. The company’s managing director/chief executive officer was absent during the operation, while the company manager was arrested for further interrogation’, the agency said
Penpushing further reports that the statement urged members of the public to provide credible information about suspected illegal manufacturing activities through its call centres on 0800-1-623322 or 0700-1-623322, or via email at reforms@nafdac.gov.ng.
