The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has clarified that the recalled Indomie Noodles Vegetable Flavour by the French authority, Rappel Conso of France, due to the presence of undeclared allergens, specifically milk and eggs, did not originate from Nigeria. Recall that in 2023, Indomie Special Chicken Flavour was also implicated in an international food safety alert following concerns raised by health authorities in Taiwan and Malaysia. At the time, NAFDAC ordered investigations and assured the public that all noodles produced in Nigeria were safe for consumption. “In light of this development, NAFDAC has undertaken some proactive measures as a responsive regulator by ensuring increased vigilance actions to guard against the possible entry of the recalled product into Nigeria. “The public is hereby informed that the Indomie Noodles Vegetable Flavour in question is not registered with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for sale in Nigeria.
