It is criminal and risky for a popular chain store in Abuja to display and sell consumer food that is unregistered and produced by an unregistered business without a known address and proprietors.
One of the associated risks of consuming such a product is that a sizable section of a population can be poisoned slowly without knowing.
TAKE NOTICE that NAFDAC, FCCPC, etc, including the police, can be held responsible for failing to take action against such shops, supermarkets, and department stores that sell unregistered products.
Criminal complaints and civil actions can also be initiated against these outlets if they fail to clear their shelves with unregistered products.
