Nigerians should be wary of alcohol, fruit juice during Christmas: NAFDAC
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has advised Nigerians to avoid alcoholic drinks and substandard juices during the Yuletide.
The Director-General of the agency, Mojisola Adeyeye, advised the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja.
Mrs Adeyeye also admonished Nigerians to celebrate the Yuletide with caution in terms of what they eat or drink not to cause any damage to their body.
“I want to admonish Nigerians, especially during this Yuletide, to avoid alcohol and juices not certified by NAFDAC,” the official said. “Avoid alcohol and substandard juices for your health.”
The NAFDAC boss urged Nigerians to take more fruits and vegetables, describing foods with quality nutrients as medicines in many cases as they can potentially prevent diseases in the body.
Mrs Adeyeye restated the commitment of NAFDAC to a healthy Nigeria through regulatory directives and monitoring.
Substandard juices are usually in higher supply during the Yuletide.
