NAFDAC seizes three petrol tankers transporting edible oil

Officials of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) have seized three petrol tanker trucks in Apapa for allegedly transporting crude edible vegetable oil

The oil had reportedly been trans-loaded into the tankers from an edible oil depot.

NAFDAC, in a post on its X handle said concerned about the potential health risks due to chemical contamination from the tankers’ previous use for transporting petrol, its officials escorted the tankers to a processing facility in Sango-Ota.

“The crude soy oil was then handed over to the Southwest Zonal Office of NAFDAC for further regulatory action.

“The Director-General of NAFDAC has since established a committee to develop guidelines and a code of ethics for the marketing and distribution of edible vegetable oils in Nigeria,” the agency said.
