The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has stated that a certain Fan Milk “FanYogo Gin & Ginger” purported to contain 12.5% alcohol is not registered by the Agency.
NAFDAC, in a statement sent to BusinessDay, said the product was not known to the Agency and was not in circulation in Nigeria. It says thorough investigation at the facility of Fan Milk PLC revealed no such product is being developed by the company, and no stock of packaging materials of the said “FanYogo Gin & Ginger” were found in the premises.
The company, Fan Milk PLC, known to NAFDAC as a producer of milk products, according to the statement has also issued a letter to the Agency in which they have referred to the image circulating in the news and social media as a “false, mischievous and malicious image”.
Fan Milk Plc, according to the correspondence NAFDAC says it received, asserts the purported “FanYogo Gin & Ginger” will not be registered in Nigeria.
“The images are the imagination of some mischief makers that have seized the opportunity to distort the social media space,” the company said.
NAFDAC in the statement reiterated its commitment to assuring the safety, wholesomeness and quality of processed foods and other regulated products offered for sale to the public.
