The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a stern warning to the public about the distribution and sale of fake Ginny Non-Dairy Creamer products in Nigeria. This warning addresses serious regulatory violations and significant risks posed to consumers, especially in the northern regions of the country.
Non-dairy creamers, often used as milk substitutes in beverages and food preparations, have become a target for counterfeiters due to their high demand. The fake versions of Ginny Non-Dairy Creamer have been found to significantly deviate from regulatory standards, including NAFDAC’s Pre-Packaged Food Labelling Guidelines.
When comparing the fake product with a genuine batch of Ginny Non-Dairy Creamer, several discrepancies and non-compliances have been identified. The fake batch is labeled as “Ginny Milky Creamer,” which contradicts the authentic product name, “Ginny Non-Dairy Creamer,” causing consumer confusion. Unlike the genuine product, which specifies FUJIAN JUMBO GRAND FOOD CO.LTD. in China as the manufacturer, the fake batch lacks clear manufacturing details, raising serious concerns about the product’s origin and quality control. The fake products also lack a NAFDAC registration number, a crucial indicator of compliance with safety and quality standards enforced by the agency. Critical details such as the type of “creamer” (dairy or non-dairy), net weight (indicated ambiguously as “±35g”), and misleading pictorial representations are either missing or incorrect.
In light of these findings, NAFDAC has directed its zonal directors and state coordinators to intensify surveillance efforts to identify and remove the fake Ginny Non-Dairy Creamer products from circulation. The agency is taking proactive steps to safeguard public health by ensuring that only authentic and compliant food products are available in the market.
