NAFDAC Warns Public Against Consumption of Whippy Mayonnaise

Category: Nigeria News

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has alerted Nigerians to the sale of unwholesome Whippy Real Mayonnaise in Nigeria.

NAFDAC said the product was discovered following a consumer’s complaint and investigated by the post-marketing surveillance unit of the Agency in Ilorin, Kwara State.

“On investigation, the products were sourced locally from the manufacturer, SNF FOODS Limited, Onitsha, Anambra State. Samples were taken randomly from different batches of the product for laboratory analysis in NAFDAC Laboratory.

“Laboratory analysis conducted on the product by the agency showed unsatisfactory outcomes. It was discovered that, though the products were still within shelf life, they have become rancid and exhibited a colour different from the original colour of mayonnaise.

“All zonal directors and state coordinators have been directed to carry out surveillance and mop up the implicated batches of the unwholesome product,” NAFDAC noted in its public alert.
