And to think that NAFDAC certified and approved those infant formulas.

What exactly is going on here? Does the NAFDAC conduct analysis at all before certifying products brought to its table? And does NAFDAC conduct regular follow up analysis to ensure those with approvals are keeping to specified standard?

why is everything in nigeria unsafe even common toothpaste m even scared of it sha I have brushed this morning lol

Because Nigeria is just like a dumping ground for all manufacturers all over the world. So, nothing safe in dumping ground for consumption, nothing can safe in Nigeria for consumption..unless if you can be manufacturing your daily life necessity yourself...
The chair you are sitting on right now is not safe as long as it is made by Nigeria Carpenter

Incomplete write-up. No list of affected formulas. No advisory on proactive measures to take. Just empty alarm...

Ogi, Akamu. Pap is the only way out. You can make fruit puree or vegetable puree by yourself. Get a blender.

That's why we go local. Maize+Guinea corn+Soybeans+ Crayfish+Groundnuts and some other ingredients. Very cheap and promote growths. It safe a lot.

Goat milk is better.
Goat milk is similar to mother's milk.

We always cry to God for help when we're unwilling to help ourselves. God does not force Himself on man especially in the area of helping man because what man needs to solve most of his basic problems have been carefully and freely given to man: sense, plants, seasons, sun, and the things of life. It is man's choice to freely make use of the things to the improvement of himself and others.


God only compliment man's effort to help himself. He doesn't force "His help" on man just as He didn't force man to accept His salvation plan that was freely given to man through Jesus Christ.

According to the paper no alarm was raised because there were no established guidelines for arsenic levels in infant food.

Ok...so those produced locally and imported have this toxics. Yet FDA and like agencies missed this important tests before approval.

Also,babies have been consuming these formulas for God knows how long and they turn out just fine! Whew!

"Currently, there is no guideline for arsenic content in baby food, including infant formulas, but the food industry has been advised to adhere to a 0.2 mg/kg arsenic level to ensure the safety of infants and young children."...


they need to adhere to d quoted above.....

This is were the problem lies. Since there is no guidelines, you cannot sue for defective product liabilities.

It is shocking. I am still thinking of suing beverage manufacturers for their role in higher rate of diabetes in the society. The issue is there is no medical research to link it. But I don't under why they will put over 50 grams of sugar in a pet bottle of beverage without warning members of the public on potential consequences.

I find it funny, cos some persons consume up to 3 pet bottle a day. It seems addictive, as they can't go a day without taking carbonated drinks.

you know the sugar in those beverages provides energy....
if you noticed people take those beverages... sometimes for energy....
More research should be conducted to provide other alternative....
Because these beverages has become part of our daily meal....
