The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued Public Alert No. 041/2025, warning Nigerians of the recall of Indomie brand noodles, Vegetable Flavour, following the discovery of undeclared allergens in the product.
According to NAFDAC, the recall notice was issued by the French food safety authority, Rappel Conso, after it was confirmed that the affected product contains milk and eggs that were not declared on the label. The undeclared allergens pose a significant health risk to consumers with allergies or intolerances.
NAFDAC noted that while the risk of the recalled product entering the Nigerian market is considered low due to the Federal Government’s ban on the importation of noodles, the possibility of illicit entry or circulation cannot be completely ruled out.
The agency disclosed that it has commenced heightened vigilance and surveillance activities to prevent any potential entry of the affected Indomie Vegetable Flavour noodles into the country, especially through online purchases or international travel.
Distributors, retailers and consumers have been advised to exercise caution across the supply chain to avoid the distribution, sale or consumption of the recalled foreign product. Consumers in possession of the implicated noodles have been urged to discard them immediately and refrain from consumption.
NAFDAC further called on members of the public to report any suspected sale or circulation of the affected Indomie Vegetable Flavour noodles to the nearest NAFDAC office or through its toll-free number, 0800-162-3322.
