Upon further investigation, the commission discovered the company’s primary facility on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Irukera said although locked, innocuous and without signage, the FCCPC identified the specific location in the nation’s capital where the company had stored its products.
The statement said in addition, the commission uncovered what appears to be unapproved and unsafe production, decanting, or repackaging of vegetable oil.
“The location in Abuja is currently under seal, and will remain so until the Commission and NAFDAC have confiscated the expired or unwholesome products, and are otherwise satisfied that Apples and Pears can, and will operate safely and legally.”
