 NAFDAC Seizes Three Tankers For Transporting Vegetable Oil With Petrol Tanker In Lagos


The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has seized three petrol tanker trucks in Apapa, Lagos, for allegedly transporting crude edible vegetable oil. 


According to NAFDAC in a statement on Wednesday, the oil had been "trans-loaded into the tankers from an edible oil depot," raising concerns about the potential health risks.


The agency highlighted that using petrol tankers to transport edible oil could lead to "chemical contamination from the tankers' previous use," posing a serious threat to public health. 

 

The seized tankers were subsequently escorted to a processing facility in Sango-Ota, where the crude soy oil was handed over to the Southwest Zonal Office of NAFDAC for further regulatory action.

 

In response to this incident, the Director-General of NAFDAC has established a committee tasked with developing guidelines and a code of ethics for the marketing and distribution of edible vegetable oil in Nigeria. 

 

NAFDAC has also called on the public to "report any suspicious or unwholesome practices related to food and regulated products."

 

The agency affirmed its commitment to protecting public health, stating, "We are committed to strict enforcement and continuous surveillance to ensure the safety of all food products in the country."
