The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is notifying the public of the sale of unwholesome Mayonnaise brand (Whippy Mayonnaise) in Nigeria. This product was discovered following a consumer complaint received and investigated by the post marketing surveillance unit of the Agency in Ilorin, Kwara State.
