The food manufacturing company shut down by NAFDAC for revalidating expired spices has reacted.
It was initially reported that following a tip-off, operatives of the Investigation and Enforcement Directorate of NAFDAC stormed the main warehouse and factory of Every Rose Limited, manufacturers of SomGeo brand of spices, and discovered that large quantities of expired curry and thyme spices were stored in the warehouse with packaging materials, labels as well as stamps that were being used to illegally revalidate the already expired products (read here).
However, Every Rose has claimed this is the work of aggrieved former workers fired for stealing from the company.
The food manufacturer stated that contrary to the report out in the public, their NAFDAC validation expired in Dec 2019, not in Dec 2017, and they have made attempts to revalidate their product license, including making the necessary payment, but due to the restrictions resulting form the pandemic, they haven’t finalised NAFDAC inspection.
