Hello people,

Below is an email I received yesterday from a friend who works in the same office as the person whose daughter fell really sick after drinking the contaminated fruit juice. Seeing is believing!
This is not the first time it will happen. About 4 months ago, a concerned mother posted pictures on Facebook of Caprisonne containing a slimy green substance which she had been lucky to see before her son consumed it. There was an uproar then on Facebook with people promising thunder and brimstone but we have no idea what steps were actually taken.

This time around, I'm aware that NAFDAC has been contacted and they've requested for a formal complaint. In the meantime, please closely monitor what your children consume. And bear in mind that the manufacturers of Caprisonne make a whole range of products including juice for adults (which almost always give me an upset tummy). I have not intention of running anyone down or killing anyone's business but we should insist on globally acceptable standards and protect ourselves and our children.

I'm new to Nairaland and not a very techie person so I'm not sure how to upload pictures but I will try.

Peace!


THE EMAIL:

Two Sundays ago, my second child was ill and taken to the hospital for treatment, she stayed home during the week afterwards to properly recover. Last Friday, she asked for one of the packet juice Capri Sonne we had at home purchased from a Major supermarket (please note that this shop has huge customer base so no risk of stock having overstayed). On taking the juice, she started to complain of tummy ache and almost immediately started to vomit without finishing the drink. My nanny took the packet away from her and noticed some black stuff on the straw and proceeded to cut open the packet. Her observation was that the juice appeared whitish with an off look from what the juice should normally look like.


We immediately kept the remaining packets left in the carton away and as soon as I got home from work yesterday, proceeded to cut open all the rest left in the carton, the attached pictures tell the rest of the story. Bottom line for me is are the following:

· with immediate effect no more packet juice for my kids, water and fruits to school is just fine along with their lunch.

· Checking expiry date is no longer a guarantee of safe food any longer, the carton and each individual packs had June 2014 as the expiry date


Please let us pay more attention to what our kids eat and drink either imported or made in Nigeria, let us send messages to their school either via text message to their class teachers or via their home work diaries to instruct what and what not should be given to our kids in school because this particular drink became a favourite for my kids due to party pack from school etc, because if we don’t things that we don’t normally give to our kids may be shared at school for them to consume.


My daughter is fine now, the vomiting stopped Friday night and we all went back to the hospital for further review the following Saturday. It could have been worse but for God!!!

People have to be very careful...Nigeria regulatory system and standard is very poor. That's why there are so many imitations and half-baked products.

Smh.
Nigerians are just too criminal.
Even the FDA would have a hard time dealing with this menance in Nigeria.

Thanks for sharing. But here in the sky we don't drink caprisonne, we have drinks like sky-juice, sky-soda, sky-mineral, airborne-special, cloud-drink etc.. Be my skylady lemme take you to the sky, my esteemed abode.

Photoshoped

Na wa o, that factory ought to be closed and with such evidence, a N500 million suit should be filled.

this may not be the real product,too many fake products in circulation.once Aba bois take eye see say it is moving,fake follows.coca cola,star beer,guilder beer,stout,peak,lacasera etc all have fake.buy from your trusted customer.

@OP Allow NAFDAC to do their job. The title of ur post can cause the company loss of profit which will be painful if your info is found to be untrue.

ibo people

they can fake anything
even their own death

I've also fallen a victim of drinking contaminated juice too with slimy sticky substance inside of it...the worst part is that I and my mum have almost finished consuming it before I noticed it....but thank God nothing happened to us....




Pls those in-charge of such products should be carefull of what they seal for people to drink

Wetin be ma ownafterall na KUNU I dey take!!!***continues wit d SKELEWU dance***...ASUU OMM#

NAFDAC deal with this big fish immadiately. This is homicidal.

I remember once, I drank a bottle of 50cl coke. While drinking towards the end I noticed some black clogged particles. Ran to the bathroom to purge myself of it as much as possible and said my prayers against any consequence from drinking. Felt bad, I actually paid money to drink hazard. We really need to be careful. That's why I prefer natural fuit juice anytime even if it's expensive, it's worth it health-wise and hygience-wise
