@ abikun what is the official cost of having a nafdac number for bakery I mean to be paid for bread?

Official fee for registration of bread is #31,500 for one product. Excluding documentation, label printing, laboratories follow up & online registration.

Custard and cookies are the products I want to produce

Both have one year shelf life I.e.12 months as expiry date.

@op. thanks for this info. pls also talk about the processes involved in getting S.O.N approval.

How to get SON approval
Just visit any SON office in your area and obtain SON form for manufacturer. The form is #8,000. Fill it and return with your company's certificate of analysis, fumigation certificate and medical certification of your production staff. After submission, SON will call you for the day they will be coming for the inspection. What they normally look for is that you maintain high GMP standard.

Lovely post, good work OP. I bake bread and cookies on a small scale, can I include a label in my products even without a NAFDAC number yet? If yes, is it ok to make mention on the label of certain ingredients that may cause allergies eg peanuts, milk etc to the consumer? Apart from nutritional claims what else shouldn't be included on the labels. Thanks so much

Yes you can. Please mention the ingredients so as to safeguard consumers. Nothing else should not be included on d label. Rather you should include net weight, storage condition, and dispose properly on the label. But please are you planning to get NAFDAC number?

hadukey:
Thank you so much for the insight, God bless you real good

Amen. Look out for more insight.

HAH:
Is the organogram also a. requirement even for a bakery?

By the way I have submitted by application for trademark at ministry of trade and investment, the officer promised to get me the acknowledgment and acceptance in 3 weeks. Thanks for your advice

Yes it is a requirement for bakery. But check my response to hadukey's question for more clarification.

hadukey:
I have gone through the organogram and I want to ask for a factory that is just starting, how will one afford production manager, marketing manager and quality control manager...........u know they are graduate.
Will they allow the quality control personnel to perform d job of d production manager so as to minimize overall cost......better still what will u recommend in terms of staff strength

You don't need more than production manager so no need to hire QC manager or marketing manager. Production manager can perform the three roles. NAFDAC only requires PM & MD, even during inspection. However, in the SOP for distribution and recall you can put any fictitious name as the marketing manager & also the same name must be the name of marketing manager on the organogram. Bear in mind that the marketing manager will sign the sop distribution & recall. Staff strength of four minimum.

mumtobe:
What are nutritional claims. The paper given to me states that we should not make nutritional claim on the labellingfor cottage industry. Is nutritional claim same as nutritional value.

How do I determine my expiry date of my product.

NAFDAC have to analyse your food products if it conforms with the standard, that is why they don't want you to make any nutritional claim on your label until when your product pass NAFDAC lab test. If it passes the test you can make nutritional claim on your label. No difference between nutritional claim and value. Let me know your product, because expiry date varies for food products.

Yesterday I promised to furnish the house with an important info. NAFDAC will soon commence clampdown on those factories that failed to renew their operating license. This usually attracts heavy fine. If the factory also failed GMP assessment during the routine inspection, then is going to be double sanction. So if you know any factory that is operating using expired production license, let such company start their renewal asap. To before warn is to before harm. Thanks.

Today I am uploading a sample of organogram. Please make sure you follow the sample to the minute detail because little error usually cause unecessary delay. Thanks. Please I need to entertain more question to make this thread alive and bubbling.
Please be on the lookout tomorrow, I have an important message to pass. Thanks and sweet dreams to all.

Check your mail.

hadukey:
It's quite a brilliant analysis but I see that cost of Fueling and maintaining delivery vehicle is not included......pls wat s d likely cost for this

Cost of fuel will be part of the unforeseen expenses while maintenance of delivery vehicle will depend on how motorable the road it plies and the driver.

Riderboy:
Thank you very much

It's a pleasure.

Riderboy:
Sorry apologies. Typo errors. Is 22000 the only money to be paid to get the certificate or is there ant ithe charges. For production of chin chin which is cottage industry, do i need to go and rent a space for that. Those that produce chinchin in their kitchen still get nafdac no. I maybe wrong but I need to know as I was told dt a standard kitchen with a store can be used for cottage industry

The #22,000 is for trademark acknowledgment and acceptance. If the kitchen is standard enough, no qualms. The standard include tiling of the floor and at least half the wall, net on all the windows and doors, portable water supply, neat material room with uv light sterilizer, stainless equipment etc. Then you are good to go.

Dandsome:

Riderboy:
I was at nafdac this week and I was told for cottage industry u need two rooms 12 by 12 or a standard kitchen with store. For those producing chinchin. Dies it means they go rent another place. Extra cost. Please u didnt state If yes eek was also for the trademark cerificate.

Please can you expantiate. I didn't understand your question. Thanks.

hadukey:
@abikun, yes we are following you, however, I don't really understand the way u explained d sops, a sample of already written sop can help out.
Thanks

I will upload a sample tomorrow by God's grace. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

[size=18pt]If you are producing at home, in one of the rooms in your house, will NAFDAC have to send inspection team ? Will it be a problem that your producing in your home ? Any idea what the total cost could be to get the Number?.[/size]

NAFDAC will not accept using a residence as a factory, so they won't approve it. You have to separate factory from residence. The cost will depend on the product you want to register.

You can contact an experienced and seasoned therapist, Elizabeth Abiola on 08037221391 and you will be glad you did.

How to write SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)
It must be on the letterhead of the organisation.
The content will consists of top table, body, and closing table.The top table will include the following: name of the SOP (e.g. SOP Production), Department (e.g. Production), Area (Water Treatment as an example), SOP No, Version No, Effective Date, Supersedes (Ver. & Date, Next Review). Let me explain better, SOP No indicate that you will number the SOPs one by one and it is usually preceded by SOP production and goes on like that as I stated in my first post, you can check it at the top. This means SOP NO for production will be 1, while SOP No for quality control will be 2, on and on like that. Please, if you are following this thread indicate as it is the only thing that can bring me satisfaction to continue. Thanks.

hadukey:
Okay @abikun,
So what trademark class does pure water and bottled water fall under?
The only place I saw something like water is class 32 which is aerated water.......are they the same?

Yes. Water falls to class 32.

osile2012:
[size=18pt]Can you help with the estimate of the cost of getting all these and NAFDAC NO ? What if its a one man business, like baking cake and meat pie and packaging. Do you need nafdac since you dont have any arrangement with lab or have any employees and you do everything yourself ?


What about someone who makes colored popcorn at home and packages it? Does he or she need nafdac ? What of someone who makes cereal by grinding grains and packaging it or someone that buys soy powder to make soy milk and bottle it ?
.[/size]

Not necessary to register. But to add credibility to your products I will advice you register with NAFDAC if you can afford it. Also, ensure that what you are producing is safe and hygienic for human consumption.

Nduwin:
pls how much does it cost to register a business name with CAC and how long will it take to get d certificate?

This is the cost of registering for either enterprises or ventures. Officially,
Searching : #500:00 or #1,000:00
Certificate form: #250:00
Certificate: #10,000:00
For Limited Liability Company, it is cumbersome and expensive. You can get your certificate within 4 weeks after payment. Hope I answer your question.
