NAFDAC Closes Water Factories in Lagos due to Unsanitary Circumstances
Owing to unsanitary circumstances, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) closed multiple packaged water enterprises in the Alimosho neighbourhood of Lagos State.
The Investigation and Enforcement Directorate’s inspections led to the closures, according to a statement and accompanying images that NAFDAC posted on X.com on Wednesday.
Upon examination, it was discovered that the factories were not following the standards for good manufacturing practices and were running in unsafe and unhygienic conditions.
A portion of the statement said, “The inspections showed that these factories’ unsanitary conditions posed substantial health concerns due to possible contamination by harmful bacteria.
“As a result, several factories were sealed for non-compliance with NAFDAC regulations.”
NAFDAC further urged the public to be vigilant when purchasing sachets and bottled water and to also verify supply sources.
It urged citizens to report any suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.
