The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it will review sanctions for exporters of substandard products.

NAFDAC’s Director-General, Professor MOJISOLA ADEYEYE, said this at a news conference while expressing displeasure at the level at which substandard goods were being rejected in some foreign countries.

She said that the agency had been able to identify some of the reasons, including non-compliance to advisory guidelines established by NAFDAC to encourage participatory exports.

Prof. ADEYEYE stated that almost all exported food products were processed without the statutory testing by NAFDAC.

According to her, some of the goods are exported without NAFDAC quality control and safety tests hence their rejection.
