The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control has warned Nigerians against storing food in containers formerly used for chemical products., Christianah Adeyeye, gave the warning on Thursday during a sensitisation campaign in Onitsha, Anambra.
Mrs Adeyeye, who was represented by Ngozi Onuora, the director of Chemical Evaluation and Research Directorate, said such containers harboured carcinogenic substances, which would not be scrubbed by washing and could develop harmful effects for humans in the long run. The DG, who led the team of NAFDAC top management to the palace of the traditional ruler of Onitsha, Alfred Achebe, said a well-informed society would address the effects of drug abuse.
“It is harmful to use kerosene tankers to load groundnut oil, to use potassium bromate to bake bread so as to improve the dough and to use dyes to redden palm oil,” she said. Mrs Adeyeye called on Nigerians to stop buying medicines from hawkers, but patronise approved medicine shops which are under the agency’s regulatory purview.
