Carcinogenic Beverages; Nigerian Court Slams Regulatory Body by QueenEsther1: 9:03am On Mar 14, 2017 |
It is sad to note that Nigerians have been consuming poisonous substances which our health regulatory body, National Agency For Food and Drug Administration NAFDAC approved to be safe for human consumption. It took the righteous anger of a Nigerian Mr. Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo to know this. He exported soft drinks to the United Kingdom and the health authorities there discovered that the Fanta and Sprite contained excess yellow and benzoic acid known to be carcinogenic ( a substance or radiation that leads to cancer). And drinking Fanta or Sprite becomes poisonous when consumed with ascorbic acid (vitamin c). So his goods were confiscated and destroyed. Mr Emmanuel following the destruction of his goods filed a case against NBC PLC and NAFDAC. After a prolonged legal battle in court where the Nigerian Bottling Company argued that their drinks were mearnt for local consumption and so should not be blamed for damages arising from exporting their products. However, Justice Adedayo Oyebanji asserts that their product are supposed to be safe for human consumption regardless of creed. He declared that NAFDAC have failed Nigerians by declaring these products fit for consumption. So, Mr Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo was awarded two million naira against NAFDAC and he instructed them to direct NBC to duly inform Nigerians about these dangers.

Its unfair that it had to take oyinbo people to make us know the dangers of what we consume whereas we have our own food regulatory body. |
