The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has put in place measures to address the incessant rejection of Nigerian foods exported abroad.
NAFDAC said it has received a lot of negative feedback in international markets regarding the poor quality of food products exported from Nigeria which has resulted in the rejection of many food items.
The agency’s director-general, Mojisola Adeyeye, highlighted that non-compliance with advisory guidelines established by the agency and lack of compliance with minimal sanitary measures are some of the reasons why Nigerian food products are rejected in the United Kingdom.
Adeyeye also disclosed that sixty-eight different Nigerian food items were rejected in the United Kingdom and European Union countries in 2023, before lamenting that almost all exported food products were processed without the statutory testing by NAFDAC.
