“It is not allowed in Nigeria, and therefore not registered by NAFDAC. The compound of interest is ethylene oxide, so the Director of, Food Lab Services Directorate has been engaged. He is working on the methodology for the analysis,” Adeyeye said.

“What we are doing is an extra caution to ensure that the product is not smuggled in, and if so, our post-marketing surveillance would detect it. We also want to be sure that the spices used for the Indomie and other noodles in Nigeria are tested.
“That is what NAFDAC Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (FSAN) and Post Marketing Surveillance (PMS) are doing this week at the production facilities and in the market, respectively. The public will be duly updated with the outcomes of the investigation.”JAMB Result
