Abuja, NIGERIA —The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has notified Nigerians about the sale of unwholesome Mayonnaise branded (Whippy Real Mayonnaise) in Nigeria.

The notification is contained in a public alert No. 024/2023, and issued to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja, by the Director-General of the agency, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye.

Adeyeye said that the product was discovered following a consumer’s complaint received and investigated by the post-marketing surveillance unit of the agency in Ilorin, Kwara State.

She said that the products were sourced locally from the manufacturer, SNF FOODS Limited, Onitsha, Anambra State.

The NAFDAC boss disclosed that samples were taken randomly from different batches of the product for laboratory analysis in NAFDAC Labs.

According to her, laboratory analysis conducted on the product by the agency showed unsatisfactory outcomes.

Adeyeye said that though the products were still within shelf life, they have become rancid and exhibits a colour different from the original colour of mayonnaise.

She identified the manufacturer’s address as: Plot 52, Harbour Industrial Estate, Pokobros Avenue, Off Atani Road, Onitsha, Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, with pack sizes of the products as: 245g and 460g in plastic bottles.

Adeyeye, however, implored distributors, retailers, and consumers to exercise caution and vigilance to avoid consumption, sale or distribution of the implicated batches of the unwholesome Whippy Real Mayonnaise.

According to her, the products’ authenticity and physical condition should be carefully checked.

She said that anyone in possession of the batches of Whippy Real Mayonnaise is advised to submit stock to the nearest NAFDAC office.

“Consumers are also advised to report any negative effect of the product through the use of the E-reporting platforms available on the NAFDAC website
