The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has ordered the recall of Indomie Vegetable Flavour noodles following safety concerns over the presence of undeclared allergens in the product.
According to the agency, investigations revealed that the noodles contain milk and eggs, which were not listed on the product label. NAFDAC warned that this omission poses serious health risks, particularly to individuals with allergies or intolerances to these substances.
NAFDAC noted that although the likelihood of the affected product circulating in Nigeria is low due to the federal government’s ban on the importation of noodles, the product could still enter the country through unauthorized channels, including online purchases and international travel.
The agency has therefore advised consumers, distributors, and retailers to immediately stop the sale and consumption of the product and report any sightings or adverse reactions to the nearest NAFDAC office, as surveillance and enforcement activities have been intensified nationwide.
