The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has stated why the locally produced Indomie Instant Noodles in Nigeria are safe for consumption.
The disclosure comes amid reports that Instant Noodles have been banned in the country following the warning that the processed food should not be consumed daily.
While clarifying that NAFDAC did not ban locally made noodles, the body's Director-General, Mojisola Adeyeye added that they have been certified safe for consumption.
“NAFDAC did not ban Indomie Instant Noodles produced in Nigeria. NAFDAC has registered several local manufacturers and the Indomie noodles have been certified safe for consumption.
“The Taiwan and Malaysia noodles have nothing to do with our local producers”, she stated.
Also speaking on the issue, the Group Corporate Communications and Event Manager, Dufil Prima Foods Limited, Tope Ashiwaju, revealed why locally produced noodles are safe for consumption.
“We would like to assure our valued customers in Nigeria that all packs of Indomie Instant Noodles consumed in Nigeria are produced locally under strict international best manufacturing procedures with ISO-certified standards.
Our commitment to international good manufacturing processes is unwavering and the quality in every pack of instant noodles produced in all our factories in Nigeria is non-negotiable.
“We adhere strictly to the standard procedures set by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) in all our manufacturing processes.
“We use only the finest ingredients, sourced from reputable suppliers, and our production facilities are regularly inspected and audited to ensure that they meet the highest standards.”
