 NAFDAC Didnā€™t Advise Nigerians To Avoid Bread ā€“ DG


The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Moji Adeyeye, says the agency has not advised Nigerians not to eat bread.


In a statement on Tuesday, Adeyeye labelled as false, a video circulating on social media, which claims that the agency has raised concerns about bread safety in Nigeria.


ā€œThe video which suggests that NAFDAC advised Nigerians to avoid bread due to the use of saccharine by some producers, does not reflect the observations of NAFDAC during the stakeholdersā€™ engagement on August 16, 2024, in Ibadan, Oyo State,ā€ she said.


Adeyeye clarified that the use of saccharine in bread is not permitted under the Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS) and the Codex General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA).


ā€œAny baker found using unapproved additives like saccharine will be sanctioned according to the extant regulatory provisions,ā€ she warned.


ā€œThe Agency emphasises that at no point did it advise Nigerians to avoid bread produced in the country,ā€ she stressed.


ā€œWe strongly dissociate ourselves from the misleading statements in the video and reassure the public that NAFDAC remains committed to its role in safeguarding the health of the nation.ā€
