 NAFDAC Strategises On Eliminating Trans-Fatty Acids; Launches Roadmap


 National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has launched the Strategy and Roadmap for Trans-Fatty Acid (TFA) Regulation in Nigeria. 

This reaffirms nigeria's commitment to safeguarding public health by eliminatinga dangerous dietary risk linked to heart disease, stroke, and premature death.

 Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, highlighted that Nigeria has already taken bold steps, including setting regulatory limits of no more than 2 grams of industrially produced trans fat per 100 grams of total fat or oil. In recognition of this effort, Nigeria was named by WHO in 2023 as one of only seven countries worldwide that have adopted best- practice TFA elimination policies. 

The newly launched roadmap outlines a phased approach focused on industry reformulation, laboratory strengthening, compliance monitoring, public education, and cross-sector collaboration. With support from partners such as Resolve to Save Lives, WHO, and other stakeholders, NAFDAC has also expanded its laboratory capacity to analyse TFAs, marking significant progress toward full implementation. 

Prof. Adeyeye called on government agencies, industry, civil society, and consumers to Work together to achieve WHO validation of Nigeria's programme: "Eliminating industrially produced trans fats is possible, achievable, and urgent. 

With this roadmap, Nigeria is determined to protect the health of its citizens and secure a food supply free from the dangers of trans-fatty acids" she affirmed.
