Health Hazard: NAFDAC Slams Guinness Nigeria With One Billion Naira Fine

 The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has fined Guinness Nigeria Plc, N1 billion for violating laid down rules.

Reports are everywhere that NAFDAC accused Guinness of allegedly re-validating expired products without authorization and supervision, and exposing its raw materials to rodents.

An excerpt of the letter from NAFDAC extracted from Punch, reads:  

“In view of the above, you are further required to take the following actions: disclosure of all your warehouses in the country and submission of inventory level of the stock thereof; submit a written voluntary consent of forfeiture for destruction of the expired and validated raw materials discovered in your warehouse; and submit a notarized undertaking to comply with all the guidelines, rules, regulations and enactments of the agency, and to refrain from any future violations.”
