NAFDAC in Kaduna State!

The Kaduna State Coordinator of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dadi Nantim Mullah has enjoined operators of bakeries and sachet water factories to make cleanliness their top priority.

He made this point while speaking in the State, during a raid to seal up bakeries and sachet water factories, especially the ones that did not meet up with the NAFDAC standard.

According to him, the agency will not relent its effort in going after business owners operating below the required standard.

Reports say during the inspection, it was discovered that some of the people operate in buildings covered with zinc while they run bakeries near the water factory, which is located side by side with a public bathroom and toilet.

He however declared that processing companies should not be located next to a grave yard, an abattoir or public toilet because they can introduce contamination into the products.

The building has to be constructed with compliance materials and not zinc with adequate provision for places to store raw materials as well as finished products.
