The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Tuesday in Ibadan alerted Nigerians of a fake brand of sugar in circulation. Omosola Osinbanjo, the Zonal Coordinator for Oyo State, said the discovery of the fake sugar followed the intensive surveillance exercise carried out across the state by officials of the agency.
Mrs. Osinbanjo said the initiatives of NAFDAC led to the discovery of the fake product at a market in Agbeni area of the metropolis.
She said the agency’s officials had stormed the area following reports of the production of fake St. Louis sugar brand being passed on to unsuspecting members of the public as fortified sugar.
Also speaking, Benjamin Haruna, the state’s head of the agency and leader of the team which conducted the operation, explained that the exercise was routine.
“We had a tip off that some people were bringing in sugar that was not fortified and did not carry the logo for certification.
