A tomato paste product sold in Onitsha, Anambra State, has reportedly come under scrutiny over its registration details.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) reportedly detected Pur tomato paste imported from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The product allegedly carries a registration number linked to a sachet-water product, raising questions about the accuracy of its label information.
The reported discovery has drawn attention to the importance of checking food product labels and registration details.
However, further official information is needed to confirm the findings and clarify the product’s regulatory status.
NAFDAC is responsible for regulating food, medicines and other products in Nigeria.
Its registration process helps consumers identify products assessed under the agency’s requirements.
Consumers are encouraged to examine product labels carefully when buying packaged food.
They should pay attention to registration numbers, manufacturer details and other information printed on the packaging.
Anyone who suspects a product has false or misleading details should seek guidance from NAFDAC through its official channels.
Consumers should also avoid sharing unverified claims that could cause unnecessary panic.
The reported Pur tomato paste registration number issue highlights why accurate product information matters for public safety.
Consumers should follow official NAFDAC updates for verified information about the product.
