NAFDAC shuts Bauchi package water factory

Ummi Salama Table Water package factory in Azare, Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State has been shut down for operating without registration.

The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in a statement by the Director of Public Affairs, NAFDAC, Mr Abubakar Jimoh, on Saturday disclosed that the agency shut the factory during one of its routine inspections in Bauchi State for non-registration of its facility with the agency.

He said another table water factory in the same location, T-Cee Table Water, was placed on hold for producing with faulty UV light.

The statement added that the state office would ensure that all products regulated by the agency are produced under NAFDAC regulations and are safe for human consumption.

NAFDAC opined that the action would serve as a deterrent to offenders who violate the agency’s efforts in safeguarding the health of the nation.
