The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has assured Nigerians of their safety while consuming the locally produced Indomie Instant Noodles.
Nigerian consumers should be aware that Indomie Instant Noodles is produced locally in Nigeria and not imported, neither is the variant with ethylene oxide produced in Nigeria. Since instant noodles are among the import-banned items in Nigeria, consumers are urged to buy and consume only locally-made noodles.
There seems to be a recurrence of panic by Nigerians every time there is an issue with instant noodles across the world. The mention of noodles is subconsciously and synonymously taken to mean Indomie.
This could be a result of the brand being the global market leader in the noodles sector. A position that comes with enormous responsibility that includes maintaining a high-quality product service delivery.
In 2022, there was an online publication by the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) in Egypt warning Egyptian citizens to avoid the consumption of certain batches of Indomie Instant Noodles due to alleged contamination. Like the Arab Spring, the fear spread to neighboring countries bordering Egypt. SOURCE: THE SUN
