The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has okayed Indomie Instant Noodles produced in Nigeria for consumption.

“NAFDAC has registered several local manufacturers and the Indomie noodles have been certified safe for consumption.”
The DG also reacted to viral information about a purported ban on the widely consumed meal.
Adeyeye said:
“NAFDAC did not ban Indomie Instant Noodles produced in Nigeria…The Taiwan and Malaysia noodles have nothing to do with our local producers.”
The agency was probing the reported discovery of a harmful substance in the product by the authorities in Taiwan and Malaysia.
The two Asian countries had discovered a cancer-causing ethylene oxide, used to sterilize medical devices and sometimes used as a pesticide in Indomie’s “special chicken” flavour.
