The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control on Friday raised the alarm over the presence of counterfeit Cowbell “Our Milk” 12g sachet milk circulating in Nigeria.

The alert posted on the agency’s website stated that Promasidor Nigeria Ltd, which is the marketing authorisation jolder and manufacturer of Cowbell “Our Milk” informed the agency about the existence of a product bearing a close resemblance to the genuine Cowbell “Our Milk” 12g sachet Milk.

“This includes unauthorised use of the brand name, packaging design, NAFDAC registration number, and trademark.

“The MAH has confirmed that these products are neither manufactured or distributed by them as the counterfeit packaging design was last used for production by the company in September 2023,” NAFDAC noted.

Differentiating, it said the genuine cowbell milk is creamy, the packaging material used is the revised PNG artwork “Our Creamy Goodness”, the printing of the batch details is done with laser printing, the coding is done on the coding area on the sachet, and the sealing and cutting on the vertical sides are automated.

It said the content of the counterfeit Cowbell 12g sachet milk does not seem like milk, the packaging material used is the old PNG artwork “Our Milk”, the printing of the batch details was done with ink instead of laser printing, the coding was not done on the coding area but on a different part of the sachet, and the sealing and cutting on the vertical sides were manually done.

It added, “The use or consumption of counterfeit Cowbell ‘Our Milk’ Milk presents serious health and safety risks.

“Such products may contain harmful substances, including toxic chemicals, unapproved additives, or diluted ingredients that do not meet food safety standards.

“Consumption of counterfeit milk can result in foodborne illnesses, allergic reactions, organ damage, or even death in severe cases. Infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable.”

The agency urged all NAFDAC zonal directors and state coordinators to conduct surveillance and mop up the counterfeit Cowbell 12g sachet Milk products within their zones and states.

“Distributors, retailers, and consumers are advised to exercise caution and vigilance within the supply chain to prevent the distribution, sale, and use of the counterfeit milk product.

“All food products must be obtained from authorised/licensed manufacturers/suppliers. The products’ authenticity and physical condition should be carefully checked.

“Healthcare professionals and consumers are advised to report any suspicion of sale of substandard and counterfeit food products to the nearest NAFDAC office, NAFDAC on 0800-162-3322 or via email: sf.alert@nafdac.gov.ng

“Similarly, healthcare professionals and patients are also encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of counterfeited food products to the nearest NAFDAC office, or through the use of the E-reporting platforms available on the NAFDAC website www.nafdac.gov.ng or via e-mail on pharmacovigilance@nafdac.gov.ng,” it said.

UDOKA BEST LOVE, Is Back With This Update.

Stay Alert, Avoid Buying Fake Milk, I Dey Beg o

People are out there to kill. I

I'm still recovering from fake custard I bought

I took one spoon after making it and it was tasting salty like they added detergent to it.

I turned on my tap to dispose the custard I made and it was foamy.

Humans are just wicked.

I'm recovering, and it's day 3.

A time will come when Nigerians won't live up to 50 years because 98% of the products will be fake and harmful for consumption. I'm not tribalistic, else I would've pointed fingers. Sadly, the virus has spread and every tribe now does it.

Producing what you consume is the only way.

Wahala dey for this country oo

Not just cowbell milk.
Nearly all brands of "milk" being sold in Nigeria is fake!

Even the "real" ones (full cream) contain just a small % of real milk in them. They're mostly coconut extracts.

And some are absolutely not milk. They're Non-dairy products, sold and consumed as milk by most Nigerians.

Honestly some Nigerians are just wicked, they want to make money at the detriments of peoples lives, funny thing NAFDAC will only raise alarm without securing foods for Nigerians out country is flooded with fake foods and expired products go and watch CBS reality on TV and see how customs and immigration protect their citizens from buying fake products abroad, Nigeria authorities need to do more in food security

You are very right.

Many don't know this. They are crying over this one when it's very clear that majority of what people consume are fake. Go natural people

Some people will avoid this topic.

It's well with Nigeria

we should all beware people are desperate to make more

Even the so called original one is fake. Not made from real cow milk but from chemicals.

All thanks to your country and the government for allowing such products enter in the market.

The fake looks more original than the original.
