The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration says Fat-Filled Milk Powder (FFMP) is “recognised” and approved for consumption in Nigeria. However, the agency did not address how the product has been misleadingly sold and advertised to Nigerians as milk.
The agency stated this on Thursday in response to a PREMIUM TIMES investigation on the dominance of FFMP in the Nigerian dairy market.
The investigation titled ‘Milk or mimic: Nigeria’s dairy market flooded with inferior product’ revealed that FFMP, which is produced by blending skimmed milk powder with vegetable fat, is presented as milk, although it is only considered to be a milk alternative or product.
