- It was noted that these two outlets were incorporating expired ham slices in their pizza preparation
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has imposed penalties on two pizza establishments in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for utilizing expired dough blend seasoning.
The FCT Director of the agency, Ozigis Abdulsalam, revealed in a Friday statement in Abuja that NAFDAC took action based on intelligence, conducting inspections on pizza outlets and uncovering that two of them were employing expired dough blend seasoning.
Additionally, it was noted that these two outlets were incorporating expired ham slices in their pizza preparation.
He said that the act amounted to dereliction of best practices “and can jeopardise food safety and lead to public health issue.”
Abdulsalam added that the ingredients were seized and the company was penalised.
According to him, the company is expected to submit an undertaking not to be found engaging in such poor practice again.
