The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) recently  sealed off four bakeries during an inspection exercise in Benin even as  three persons were reportedly arrested for unwholesome practices during the exercise.

The bakeries sealed included God’s Will, Life is Good, Our Daily Bread and Stone bakeries located on Sapkonba Road in Benin, the State Capital.

Speaking on the essence of the inspection/surveillance exercise, the Edo Coordinator of NAFDAC, David West, stated that this  was in line with the agency’s mandate of safeguarding the health of Nigerians.

He explained  that the exercise was geared towards achieving three objectives of registration of bakeries, good hygiene practice and non-use of prohibited dough ingredients.
