The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has shut down four unregistered bakeries in Port Harcourt City and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas of Rivers State.
The agency said the four bakeries operated without registration licenses and with unhygienic practices.
The NAFDAC Director, South-South Zone, Chukwuma Oligbu, disclosed this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt today.
Oligbu said the discovery followed the agency’s bid to stamp out the prevalence of quack and substandard bakeries in the state and the zone in general.
The NAFDAC director added that after shutting down the bakeries, the owners were directed to the NAFDAC zonal office in Port Harcourt for questioning.
While noting that the investigation was ongoing, he warned that defaulters of the agency’s extant regulations risk prosecution and possible jail term if convicted.
