The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has sealed a warehouse in Kaduna for storing expired food and cosmetic products valued at over N75 million.
The agency shared this development on its official X handle on Tuesday, January 21, revealing that the warehouse, located at PP2A Bayajidda Street by Kano Road, New Ogbomosho Road, was raided after a tip-off from a concerned individual.
During the operation, NAFDAC officials uncovered a range of expired goods being repackaged, including biscuits, dairy milk, vegetable oil, soft drinks, and detergents.

The agency also whisked the warehouse’s managing director for questioning, warning that once investigations are concluded, stringent penalties will be applied as a deterrent to prevent further illegal activities in the sector.
The agency urged the public to stay alert and report any suspicious activities related to expired or unsafe products.
This operation in Kaduna follows NAFDAC’s recent closure of a pharmacy in Abuja found selling expired and unregistered drugs.
The agency reaffirmed its commitment to upholding safety regulations in the country’s food and pharmaceutical industries.
