NAFDAC orders recall of Indomie brand noodles (Vegetable Flavour Product) due to the presence of undeclared allergens (milk and eggs)

The National Food, Drug Administration and Control NAFDAC has ordered the recall of Indomie brand noodles (Vegetable Flavour Product) due to the presence of undeclared allergens (milk and eggs).

In a statement released on social media today December 19, the agency said the presence of undeclared allergens, specifically milk and eggs, may pose a significant health risk to consumers with allergies or intolerances.

‘’NAFDAC is informing the public that the French authority (Rappel Conso of France) has issued a notice regarding the recall of the Indomie brand Noodles Vegetable Flavour. This recall is due to the presence of undeclared allergens, specifically milk and eggs, which may pose a significant health risk to consumers with allergies or intolerances.

Although the official risk of these products entering Nigeria is low due to the Federal Government’s ban on noodle importation, there remains a need for heightened vigilance to prevent possible illicit entry or circulation of the implicated Indomie brand.

NAFDAC has commenced vigilance actions to guard against possible entry of the brand into the country, as acquisition of the product through online purchase or international travel cannot be excluded.

Distributors, retailers, and consumers are hereby advised to exercise caution and vigilance within the supply chain to avoid the distribution, sale, and consumption of the recalled foreign brand of Indomie noodles.

Consumers should discard the product and not consume it. Report any suspicion of the sale of the implicated flavour of Indomie noodles to the nearest NAFDAC office or call 0800-162-3322.”
