Nigerian regulators warn traders against harmful food chemicals, citing cancer and organ damage risks.
The FCCPC has warned Nigerian traders, especially in Kano, against using toxic chemicals like calcium carbide, Sudan red, formalin, and bromate in food, citing serious health risks including cancer and organ damage.
The agency stressed that unsafe practices such as forced fruit ripening, adulteration, and poor handling endanger public health and violate consumer rights.
FCCPC, working with NAFDAC and other bodies, will enforce strict penalties, including prosecution, for non-compliance.
The commission urged businesses to follow safety standards and consumers to demand safe, properly labeled food.
