The National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) had started investigating and responding immediately to the news of recalled Indomie noodles by Taiwan and Malaysia authorities, the Director General of the Agency, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye has said.<\/p>\n

A statement by the Agency said tomorrow, May 2,2023 , NAFDAC\u2019s Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Directorate will randomly sample Indomie noodles (including the seasoning) from the production facilities while Post Marketing Surveillance Directorate samples products already in the markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe compound of interest is ethylene oxide, so the Director, Food Lab Services Directorate has been engaged,\u201d the statement said. \u201cHe is working on the methodology for the analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be noted that Indomie noodles have been banned from being imported into the country for many years. It is one of the foods on the government prohibition list. It is not allowed in Nigeria, and therefore not registered by NAFDAC.<\/p>

\u201cWhat we are doing is an extra caution to ensure that the product is not smuggled in, and if so, our post marketing surveillance would detect it. We also want to be sure that the spices used for the Indomie and other noodles in Nigeria are tested. That is what NAFDAC Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (FSAN) and Post Marketing Surveillance (PMS) are doing this week at the production facilities and in the market, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public will be duly updated with the outcomes of the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
