The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has defended its enforcement of the ban on sachet alcohol, clarifying that its actions are directed at halting the production and sale of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets and small-volume PET bottles, rather than shutt... She added, “The restriction applies strictly to two packaging categories: spirit drinks in sachets and in PET or glass bottles below 200ml. Alcoholic beverages packaged in larger volumes remain approved for production and sale in Nigeria. “The Agency recalled that in December 2018, it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with industry stakeholders to phase out sachet and small-volume alcohol packaging, initially by January 31, 2024. It is designed to safeguard children and young people from easy access to alcohol and the long-term consequences of misuse.
