NAFDAC has sealed a warehouse in Lagos belonging to a Lebanese firm, H and H Integrated Nigeria Limited, for importation and storage of illegal food products, particularly biscuits and cookies commonly consumed by children.

According to NAFDAC spokesman, Anselm Okonkwo, the warehouse located at 30 Iman Dauda Street, Eric Moore, was raided following a tip-off. Among the 49 unregistered and counterfeit children’s products found in the warehouse belonging to H&H are:

This is coming after a month of a similar closure of another Lagos–based Lebanese confectioneries and multinational food outlet, Chocolate Royale, over what was described as “unethical practices” and non-adherent to good manufacturing and hygienic practices. These Lebanese firms in Nigeria, Lagos especially need to be checked. It's a shame that we let all sorts come into Nigeria to kill us with expired products.
