The state director also said that the agency had scheduled a date within the week to engage the leadership of the association of Agro chemical dealers on the dangers of chemicals on foods.
” In Bauchi, we will engage the dealers of Agro chemicals against the use of Dictholoruvis and Paraquat chemicals to store food as we approach harvest period.
“These are dangerous chemicals that have been banned over time,” he added.
Kamai urged bakers and packaged water makers to renew their licenses within the two-year deadline.
He stated that failure to renew the operational licences could result in penalties that could disrupt corporate operations.
Kamai encouraged small and medium-sized businesses to register their items with NAFDAC in order to gain access to Nigerian markets. (NAN)
