NAFDAC has closed several packaged water factories in Alimosho, Lagos State, following investigative inspections by the Investigation and Enforcement Directorate.
The factories were operating in untidy and unsafe environments, violating Good Manufacturing Practice regulations.
The inspections revealed that the unhygienic conditions of these factories posed serious health risks due to potential contamination by pathogenic microorganisms.
As a result, several factories were sealed for non-compliance with NAFDAC regulations.
NAFDAC urges the public to remain vigilant when purchasing sachet and bottled water, verifying supply sources, and reporting any suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office or call 09097630506 or 09097630507
