NAFDAC begins nationwide mop-up of banned sachet, PET bottle alcohol
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has commenced a nationwide enforcement operation to remove alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets and polyethylene terephthalate bottles below 200 millilitres from circulation.
The agency said the exercise is in line with the Federal Government’s ban on the production, importation, distribution, sale and use of alcoholic drinks packaged in sachets and PET bottles smaller than 200ml.
According to NAFDAC in a statement shared on X on Wednesday, the enforcement operation is being carried out across the six geopolitical zones following the closure of non-compliant manufacturing facilities.
The agency said the exercise forms part of its ongoing efforts to protect public health.
