A consumer purchased a sealed container of fruit juice from a supermarket, only to discover that the product was unwholesome, falsely labeled, and lacked an expiration date. Which Nigerian statutory agency has the specific mandate to regulate, inspect, and prosecute offenses related to such unsafe food products?

  1. A
    Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON)
  2. National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)Cevap
  3. C
    Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC)
  4. D
    Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN)

Cevap

National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is the government statutory body mandated to regulate and control the manufacture, importation, exportation, distribution, advertisement, sale, and use of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, chemicals, and packaged water in Nigeria. Therefore, inspecting, seizing unsafe food items, and prosecuting offenders falls directly under its jurisdiction.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of the consumer grievance in the scenario.
The grievance involves unsafe, falsely labeled, and unwholesome packaged food products lacking expiration dates.
Determining the specific product category helps identify which regulatory agency holds statutory jurisdiction in Nigeria.
2
Match the product category to the appropriate regulatory body's legal mandate.
NAFDAC is specifically established to control, inspect, and regulate food, drugs, cosmetics, and chemicals to protect public health.
While SON handles general industrial quality standards and FCCPC covers overall consumer rights and market competition, food and drug safety regulation specifically falls under NAFDAC.
