Saturday, February 10, 2024 – The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has penalised two pizza outlets in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for using expired dough blend seasoning.
The FCT Director of the agency, Ozigis Abdulsalam, in a statement in
Abuja on Friday said the agency acted on intelligence information and carried
out inspection on pizza outlets and discovered that two of them were using
expired dough blend seasoning.
He added that the two outlets were also using deep ham slices in the
preparation of their pizzas.
He said that the act amounted to dereliction of best practices “and can
jeopardise food safety and lead to public health issue.”
Abdulsalam added that the ingredients were seized and the company was
penalised.
