The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has warned the public about the circulation of suspected counterfeit Cerelac baby food products in Lagos.
In a statement, the agency said the affected products—Cerelac Mixed Fruits and Wheat—were reported to have been falsely labelled as manufactured by Nestlé Spain, with indications of tampered expiry dates.
The alert followed complaints received by Nestlé Nigeria Plc, which raised concerns over abnormal odour and suspected contamination of the product.
NAFDAC said its officials traced the items to a retail outlet in Okota, where the unregistered products were discovered and removed from circulation.
The agency further noted that counterfeit variants can be identified by differences in date markings, urging consumers and healthcare providers to remain vigilant.
It called on the public to report any suspected substandard or falsified products through its official channels, stressing the need to safeguard public health.
