The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and
Control (NAFDAC) has issued an alert on certain United States products.
The notice followed the recall of some confectioneries
produced by a company, Mars Wrigley Confectionery US, LLC.
NAFDAC Director-General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye signed the
notification, with No.034/2022, issued on Friday.
Mars Wrigley had announced a voluntary recall of varieties
of Skittles gummies, Starburst gummies and Lifesavers gummies.
Adeyeye said the decision was due to the potential presence
of thin metal strands embedded in a number of the sweets.
NAFDAC urged distributors and citizens in possession of the
products to stop the sale, and consumption of the products and take them to its
nearest office.
“Consumers are encouraged to report complaints and any
allergic reactions”, the agency advised.
“They are also encouraged to report any adverse effect to
NAFDAC PRASCORE on (20543 toll-free from all networks), or via
pharmacovigilance@nafdac.gov.ng.”
Members of the public can make their reports via the NAFDAC
ADR e-Reporting platform available at www.nafdac.gov.ng.
