NAFDAC Discovers Counterfeit Parago Candies in Warehouse

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) uncovered a warehouse where suspected counterfeit Parago candies were concealed in cartons bearing different product names. This discovery was made during an inspection captured in a video on Thursday.

NAFDAC officials found the candies hidden under a tarpaulin and inside cartons labeled “Toy with Candy,” while the actual contents were identified as Parago. An official explained that the original carton of Parago was also found concealed in a store meant for rice.

The agency has not yet provided details on the quantity of products recovered, the location of the warehouse, the operators of the facility, or whether any arrests have been made.
