For allegedly using expired dough blend seasoning, the FCT Directorate of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has penalized two pizza outlets in the FCT
This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the FCT Director of the agency, Mr Ozigis Abdulsalam,
According to him, the FCT department of the agency acted upon "an intelligence information and carried out inspection on pizza outlets and discovered that two of them were using expired dough blend seasoning."
He added that the two outlets were also using deep ham slices in the preparation of their pizzas.
The act, he said, amounted to dereliction of best practices “and can jeopardise food safety and lead to public health issue.”
Abdulsalam said that the ingredients were seized and the company was penalised.
According to him, the company is expected to submit an undertaking not to be found engaging in such poor practice again. (NAN)
