NAFDAC Implements Restrictions on Sale of Alcoholic Beverages in Small Packaging

News

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has initiated the enforcement of its 2022 restrictions on the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets, PET, and glass bottles of 200ml and below. 

This move, aimed at curbing the consumption of alcohol among vulnerable populations, was announced by the Director-General of NAFDAC, Mojisola Adeyeye, during a press conference held on Monday, February 5.

According to Adeyeye, NAFDAC halted the registration of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets and small-volume PET and glass bottles below 200ml in 2022. The agency is now taking further steps to ensure compliance with these regulations, including limiting the validity of renewal for already registered alcoholic products in the affected category to 2024.

During the press conference, Adeyeye highlighted the detrimental effects of alcoholic beverages, particularly on under-aged individuals and commercial vehicle drivers and riders. She stressed the importance of safeguarding public health by restricting access to alcohol in packaging sizes that are easily consumed in large quantities and potentially hazardous situations.

The decision to restrict the sale of alcoholic beverages in small packaging aligns with NAFDAC’s commitment to promoting responsible alcohol consumption and protecting consumers from the adverse effects of excessive alcohol intake. 

By imposing these restrictions, NAFDAC aims to address concerns related to alcohol abuse and its associated health and social implications.
