“Eat BON bread, it is safe; preservatives used within our approved limits” – NAFDAC

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has declared that BON Bread is safe for consumption, stating that the preservative used in its production is within approved limits.

The agency gave the clarification after completing a scientific investigation into a viral social media video that raised concerns about the product’s shelf life.

Viral Video Sparks Controversy

The controversy began on April 13, 2026, when a blogger, identified as Love Dooshima, posted a video expressing alarm over a loaf of bread she said had remained fresh for nearly two months without going mouldy.

Though she did not mention any brand, BON Bread’s manufacturer claimed the product was theirs and denied the allegation.

The video went viral, prompting the company to serve Dooshima a N50 million lawsuit.
