Professor Moji Adeyeye, Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has urged Nigerians to stop consuming a juice named Pure tassie Organic and Blackcurrant Juice.
She said ;
“The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of Hong Kong’s Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has warned against the consumption of Pure Tassie Organic Apple and Blackcurrant Juice originating from Australia.
This was due to unacceptable level of patulin (a mycotoxin) which had exceeded the maximum limit in fruit juice,”
She also urged importers, distributors, retailers, and consumers to immediately stop the importation, distribution, sale, and consumption of the affected fruit juice and she also urged members of the public who still have in possession the affected fruit juice to submit stock to the nearest NAFDAC office.
