The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned of a batch of unwholesome Sprite 50cl glass bottles circulating in Nigeria.
In a tweet, the Agency said the product was discovered after investigating a consumer complaint.
According to NAFDAC over five crates of the implicated batch (BN: AZ6 22:32) of Sprite 50cl glass bottles were discovered to be contaminated with particles.
“The affected batch of the unwholesome product has been sampled for laboratory analysis in the NAFDAC laboratory and the Agency has directed all zonal directors and state coordinators to carry out surveillance and mop up the implicated batch of the unwholesome product.
The Agency also said a comprehensive Inspection of the manufacturing site will be carried out to determine the cause of the contamination and ensure compliance to marketing authorization.
NAFDAC therefore directed the Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (Abuja plant) to recall the implicated batch of the unwholesome product and report to Agency for effective monitoring.
