The Nigerian Bottling Company
(NBC) has apologised following the inconveniences the recall of the
contaminated Eva bottled water might have caused consumers.
The National Agency for Food,
Drugs and Administration Control (NAFDAC) had directed the NBC to recall Eva
premium table water 75cl over suspected contamination.
The agency had said the
production of the water was suspended pending the outcome of investigation
being conducted by it.
But Ekuma Eze, NBC’s director,
public affairs and communications, said the bottling company had started
withdrawing the contaminated Eva bottled water before NAFDAC issued the public
alert.
He said the company is
cooperating with the agency in its investigation, adding that consumers in
possession of the product have been asked to return them to NBC offices for
replacement.
“We had commenced withdrawal of
the affected batches which are 220519.14.27 AC4 and 230519.15.15 AC4, prior to
the NAFDAC announcement and are cooperating with the agency in its
investigation,” he said.
“We also regret the inconvenience
this may have caused our consumers and have since requested consumers in
possession of products with the stated batch numbers to return them to our
nearest offices or distributors/dealers for replacement.
“We wish to confirm that there
are no issues with other batches of our premium Eva Water, even as we reassure
our consumers of our commitment to highest quality standards, product safety
and consumer satisfaction.”
