NAFDAC shuts down Illegal cosmetics factory in Lagos – Ravenewsonline

National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has shut down an illegal factory producing counterfeit cosmetic products at Benue Plaza, Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State.

Disclosing this in a post shared on its X handle on Tuesday, September 17, the agency said the factory was shut down after its operatives raided the location and discovered various unregistered chemicals and packaging materials, along with expired products that were being revalidated for sale.

During the operation, over 1,200 cartons of fake cosmetic products were seized by NAFDAC.

The items including mini-mixing containers, unlabelled chemicals, batch coding materials, and thinners, were confiscated and moved to the NAFDAC office for further investigation.

The Agency estimated the street value of the confiscated items to be around N50 million.
