NAFDAC DECLARES NIGERIAN INDOMIE NOODLES TO BE SAFE
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has informed Nigerians that Indomie Instant Noodles are safe.
The Director-General, Prof Mrs Mojisola Adeyeye, issued a statement in response to rumors of a ban.
The FDA is investigating the claimed finding of a hazardous chemical in the product following investigations by authorities in two Asian nations.
"NAFDAC has registered several local manufacturers and the Indomie noodles have been certified safe for consumption," Adeyeye noted.
"NAFDAC did not ban Indomie Instant Noodles produced in Nigeria...The Taiwan and Malaysia noodles have nothing to do with our local producers."
In Taiwan and Malaysia, cancer-causing ethylene oxide, which is used to sterilize medical devices and is often used as a pesticide, was discovered in Indomie's "special chicken" flavor.
Tope Ashiwaju, Group Communications Manager at Dufil Prima Foods Limited, has also released an official position.
According to the company, their noodles are delivered throughout Nigeria "under strict international best manufacturing procedures with ISO certified standards."
