Bread sold in markets failing laboratory tests, NAFDAC raises fresh alarm
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has revealed that bread sold in the markets is failing laboratory tests because producers are using saccharine due to the high cost of sugar.
NAFDAC warned water producers, patent medicine dealers and other manufacturers of regulated products against selling fake and substandard products.
Mrs Roseline Ajayi, NAFDAC Southwest Coordinator, gave the warning during a stakeholders engagement meeting organised by the agency, on Friday, in Ibadan.
“Recently, we observed that bread sold in the markets is failing laboratory tests because producers are using saccharine due to the high cost of sugar.
“They are introducing ingredients that are not good for the health of the consumers.
