The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has cautioned tanker drivers against using kerosene tankers to carry groundnut oil.

The NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, who gave the warning on Tuesday in Abuja, said that the agency got information to that effect.

Prof. Adeyeye, who was represented by the agency’s Director of Chemical Evaluation and Research, Mrs Ngozi Onuorah, at the ongoing nationwide sensitisation campaign by NAFDAC against substandard foods and drugs, said that using kerosene tanker to load groundnut oil for human consumption was dangerous to public health. 

Adeyeye called on Nigerians to be vigilant and report any driver indulging in the act to relevant authorities.

The NAFDAC boss also warned market women against using Azo-dye to make palm oil more reddish.

She urged attitudinal change that would promote public health

According to her, these illegal and criminal practices can result in cancer, liver damage, kidney failure as well as damage to other organs of the body. (THE NATION)
