Items worth over N2.5 million, comprising imported fruit juices and others, were impounded by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Sokoto State, Coordinator Hamis Yahaya said yesterday.
Yahaya, who spoke in Sokoto, said the items, including food seasoning, were confiscated during a raid by the agency’s officials at supermarkets and markets.
He said: “The items were seized after surveillance on the retail outlets.
“Most of them were imported from China through Niger Republic. They were not registered by NAFDAC.
“We urge supermarket operators to come to the agency for listing of their goods.”
The coordinator said officials would sustain the raid, to rid the state of fake products.
