The Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC), on Saturday, said it had begun the withdrawal of the two batches of its 75 centilitre Eva table water produced between May 22 and 23, this year, following the detecting of a defect in the product.<\/p>\n

Following the discovery of the defect, NBC said it notified the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) of the development.<\/p>\n

NAFDAC, on Saturday, in a series of tweets, warned members of the public to desist from consumption of the 75 cl Eva brand due to the defects.<\/p>\n

NBC pledged its readiness to continue to cooperate with NAFDAC in ensuring retrieval of the affected batches of water, urging consumers in possession of products to return them to its nearest offices or distributors, dealers for replacement.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerian Bottling Company (NBC) is aware of Public Alert No. 0011\/2019, issued by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).<\/p>\n

\u201cAs noted in the alert, on 20th of June 2019 NBC voluntarily notified NAFDAC of two batches of Eva Water (75cl) produced from May 22-23, 2019 in our Asejire Plant, which did not meet our quality standards.<\/p>\n
