NAFDAC seals off popular Lagos fast food outfit, Sweet Sensation Confectioneries

National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)  has sealed off a popular fast food outfit, Sweet Sensation Confectioneries, for operating under a condition considered inimical to the health of the public

Director General of the agency, Dr. Paul Orhii, who revealed this at a press conference yesterday, said the eatery located at 14, Town Planning way, Ilupeju, Lagos, was operating under very unhygienic conditions.
   
Speaking on how the closure was carried out, Orhii said a  team of NAFDAC inspectors met with officials of the company who conducted them round the entire premises ''it was shocking for the inspectors to discover that the source of water of the eatery was a borehole located close to an underground concrete sewage without proper treatment".

"Not only that, the storage condition of the ready food for eating was inadequate, while the company uses a ceramic bath tub for mixing dough for their pastries.

He also added that the company's kitchen windows and doors were not netted to protect the premises from pests such as rats, cockroaches and flies.

The general sanitation of the premises was said to be appealing, as plates were said to be stored close to the open drains and exposed to microbial contamination, which could lead to food poisoning leading to stomach-ache, diarrhea and vomiting.

The agency warns that the inspection of food joints in the country continues and any company found wanting would be penalized accordingly.

Is this the same koolchicco that posts those cool Naija movies on youtube?

If SweetSensation were found culpable, then all other eateries in the land are no better.

This discovery explains how we get the "sweet sensation" from their meals.  

i really dont understand why nigerians can't just be upright and emphatize with their customers

This is serious . . . using a bath to mix dough? oh my God . . . am outta here!

OMG!!! This is disheartening. They look sweet outside but dangerous inside, but why?
How are we sure of others? NAFDAC keep the good work up.

Chei, it's all about the money money from Business owners to politicians to government officials and university lecturers.

God save us all.

It is indeed very very sad

Mixing dough in a bath tub, Lord have mercy!

Wonders shall never end.
If a popular joint like sweet sensation can be found wanting in hygiene, how much more the roadside and local joints scattered everywhere. My oga has a name for them; cholera joints.

buahahahah!!

Nothing WRONG with mixing dough in a ceramic bathtub---its where most restaurants mix their

doughs because  the bath tub can handle capacity----the cleanliness of that bath tubb is another matter.


No where is safe exactly--if u eat outside you put ur health in the hands of another being---- or business.

You go and vomit out ur intestine

Why the unnecessary alarm abi no be only the illupeju branch them close?
