The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, on Friday sealed two Chinese supermarkets and eight cosmetics shops in AbujaThey were shut for alleged violation of Nigeria’s food and drug regulations.
The affected supermarkets, located on Mike Akhigbe Way and Ebitu Ukiwe Street in Jabi District, were accused of selling unregistered food products labelled exclusively in Chinese, a breach of NAFDAC’s requirement that all regulated products carry English translations for the Nigerian market.
In a related exercise, eight cosmetics shops within Wuse Market were also sealed for selling banned, expired and unregistered products, including aphrodisiacs and aesthetic medicines.
NAFDAC said some traders were disguising themselves as dermatologists and pharmacists to prescribe harmful products for body enhancement, skin whitening, and male sexual performance.
