Discovery comes weeks after agency exposed fake wine packaging operation at the same complex
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered unlabelled and unregistered cosmetics and packaging materials at the Tools and Hardware Complex of the Lagos Trade Fair Complex.
The agency announced the discovery in a post on its official X account on Saturday, accompanied by a video of the enforcement operation.
NAFDAC said the operation uncovered cosmetics and packaging materials that were neither labelled nor registered with the agency.
It warned that banned and unregistered cosmetics could cause skin damage and expose users to harmful chemicals, urging members of the public to report suspicious products to its nearest office.
The latest discovery comes weeks after NAFDAC uncovered a fake wine packaging operation at the Trade Fair Complex.
In February, the agency also reported recovering banned, fake and unregistered cosmetics worth over ₦3bn from a warehouse concealed inside an unfinished building at the APT Trade Fair Complex.
Items recovered included 728 cartons of Crusader soap, 718 cartons of E45 soap and quantities of Extract Gold whitening soap, all banned by the Federal Government.
