The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a statement clarifying a misleading social media video circulating about bread safety in Nigeria.

The viral video claimed that bread produced in Nigeria contains harmful substances, sparking widespread concern among consumers.

According to the widespread rumor by an online reporter said “Bread sold in markets failing laboratory tests, NAFDAC raises fresh alarm”

In a statement signed by Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, the Director-General of NAFDAC, on Tuesday debunk such claim.

“ NAFDAC wishes to provide clarification that the content of the video on avoiding bread in Nigeria does not reflect the observation of the agency made during a stakeholders engagement held on Aug.16 in Ibadan.

“NAFDAC is a responsible regulator and does not make general statements capable of causing panic and fear in the population.

“Any baker found to be using unapproved food additives, in this case, saccharine, is appropriately sanctioned in line with the extant regulatory provisions.

“NAFDAC dissociates herself from the comment of the reporter in the circulating video about avoiding bread in Nigeria.

“This is the personal statement of the reporter who does not speak for NAFDAC and we wishe to reassure the public that the agency remains fully alive to her responsibilities of safeguarding the health of the public,” she said.

In addition, the agency promises continued vigilance in ensuring food safety in Nigeria.
