NAFDAC
Enforces Ban On Alcoholic Drinks In Sachets
National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and
Control has commenced the enforcement of the ban on the importation,
manufacture, distribution, sale, and use of alcoholic beverages in sachets,
PET, and glass bottles of 200ml and below.
The Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof MojisolaAdeyeye,
stated this on Monday at a press conference in Abuja.
She added that during enforcement actions, it was
discovered that some manufacturers of the banned products were still producing
the products, and still had stacks of both finished products and packaging
materials of the products in their possession.
In January 2022, NAFDAC stopped the registration of
alcoholic beverages in sachet and small volume PET and glass bottles below
200ml.
The don warned that the people mostly at risk of the
negative effects of consumption of the banned pack sizes of alcoholic beverages
are the under-aged, commercial vehicle drivers and riders.
