NAFDAC confiscates over 100 cartons of expired zero Coke in Katsina State
Yesterday,
the National Agency for Food Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC) in Katsina
State confiscated about 100 cartons of expired beverage drink at a super market
in Katsina metropolis.
The state
director of NAFDAC, John Agada, made the disclosure in an interview with
the News Agency of Nigeria saying “NAFDAC received a complaint from a
consumer that a particular super market was selling expired zero coke. When we
visited the super market, our officers found several cartons of Zero coke,
which date of best use is June, 2018. By implication, it means that all the
cartons of the zero coke are harmful and dangerous to the consumers and the
owner of the super market was still in business selling the expired coke.
NAFDAC officers immediately impounded the cartons of zero coke as the best day
for drinking them had expired.”
Agada called
on members of the public in the State to always look at the expiry date of
any bottle of soft drink before consumption. He warned owners and operators of
super markets and provision stores to always check purchased items to avoid
selling expired products to unsuspecting members of the public.
“Anybody
caught selling expired items will face the full wrath of the law,” he said
