A public health alert has been issued for the Whippy Real Mayonnaise following complaint by a consumer which was investigated by the post-marketing surveillance unit of the relevant agency in Ilorin, Kwara state capital.
.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, issued the public health alert on Monday.
‘On investigation, the products were sourced locally from the manufacturer, SNF FOODS Limited, Onitsha, Anambra state. Samples were taken randomly from different batches of the product for laboratory analysis in NAFDAC Laboratory.
Laboratory analysis conducted on the product by the agency showed unsatisfactory outcomes. It was discovered that, though the products were still within shelf life, they have become rancid and exhibited a colour different from the original colour of mayonnaise.
All zonal directors and state coordinators have been directed to carry out surveillance and mop up the implicated batches of the unwholesome product’ NAFDAC noted in the public health alert in question.
‘NAFDAC implores distributors, retailers, and consumers to exercise caution and vigilance to avoid consumption, sale, or distribution of the implicated batches of the unwholesome Whippy Real Mayonnaise. The products’ authenticity and physical condition should be carefully checked.
Anyone in possession of the above-mentioned batches of Whippy Real Mayonnaise is advised to submit stock to the nearest NAFDAC office. If you, or someone you know, have consumed this product or suffered any adverse reaction/event after consumption, you are advised to seek immediate medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional’ the agency added- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
