NAFDAC has never contracted analysis of micronutrients to private Lab

Stating that the Central Food Laboratory, particularly, has internationally accredited micronutrient laboratory units with state-of-the-art equipment, Adeyeye dismissed media reports that it has contracted these units to private laboratories.

“The laboratory has the Vitamins units for testing of vitamins in food which include Vitamin premix and fortified food vehicles. Vitamins tested include fat-soluble- Vitamin A; water-soluble – thiamine, riboflavin, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cyanocobalamin, and folate. This unit is equipped with the latest versions of Agilent and Chromaster brands of High Performance Liquid Chromatography .

“These units have well-trained staff that are technically equipped to handle these equipment in the analyses of micronutrients using internationally accepted protocols. The test scopes of these units have been accredited by the American National Accreditation Board since 2018 and this has been sustained and renewed annually. This fact can be verified from the ANAB website.”
