These products include several food products and different kind of cosmetics found in City store, Arabian Supermarket, F&S Supermarket and MRS mini mart all in Bauchi metropolis.

The violating products were mopped up and the owner sanctioned for selling unwholesome products.
The general public is therefore advised to look out for adequately labeled products e.g. Company’s name and address, Batch coding, Production and Expiry/ Best before dates, NAFDAC Reg. No before making their purchases from super markets to avoid consumption of any fake/ counterfeit, unwholesome and expired product, they should report to NAFDAC office any products that have any form of lapses as mentioned above.
