The National Agency for Food and Drug Control Administration (NAFDAC), has raised the alarm over the sale of counterfeit Arla Dano Full Cream Milk Powder – 14g sachet across Nigerian markets.
In a statement released on Wednesday evening, the agency said that investigations by the TG Arla Dairy Product Enterprise company (holder of Certificate of Registration) discovered that the counterfeited products were displayed openly in the market.
NAFDAC has directed its zonal directors and state coordinators to conduct surveillance and mop up the counterfeited milk powder across the states in Nigeria.
“NAFDAC implores distributors, retailers, and consumers to exercise caution and vigilance to avoid consuming, selling, or distributing counterfeit products. The product’s authenticity and physical condition should be carefully checked.
“Members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicion of distribution and sale of counterfeit or unwholesome packaged food products to the nearest NAFDAC office,” the statement read.
