The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has fined Guinness Nigeria Plc, N1bn for violating laid down rules.
Punch Newspapers reports
that NAFDAC accused Guinness of allegedly revalidating expired products
without authorisation and supervision, and exposing its raw materials
to rodents.
An excerpt of the letter from NAFDAC, which was obtained from Punch, reads “In
view of the above, you are further required to take the following
actions: disclosure of all your warehouses in the country and submission
of inventory level of the stock thereof; submit a written voluntary
consent of forfeiture for destruction of the expired and revalidated raw
materials discovered in your warehouse; and submit a notarised
undertaking to comply with all the guidelines, rules, regulations and
enactments of the agency, and to refrain from any future violations.”
Guinness Nigeria Plc is expected to pay the fine, in two weeks
