A NAFDAC staff on site, who preferred anonymity, said, “this is a case which has been concluded. Guinness has been given permission to destroy the expired raw materials belonging to them while we supervise.
“We have two products, the malt extracts in drums and glucose in packs. “We have worked for three days and I still see us working till the next one week.
“On the first day, we had a simulation test with a truck of each of the materials to see how the process would go.’’
On the quantity of raw materials to be destroyed, the staff said “each truck has 18 bags for the glucose and another truck of 72 drums of malt extract.
“We destroyed five trucks of malt extract yesterday, with each containing 72 drums of malt extract and 10 trailers of glucose with each containing 18 bags.
“Today, we are here with five trucks of the drums of malt extract and 10 trailers of the bags of glucose and we have about 2,600 of the drums.
Mr Ernest Abu, Manager at Guinness said “the exercise is based on a resolution between NAFDAC and Guinness. I am only on ground to ensure that the destruction goes according to acceptable safety standards.’’
NAFDAC had on Nov. 9, 2015, written a letter on `Payment of Administrative Charges for Various Clandestine Violations’ to the Managing Director of Guinness Nigeria Plc.
