The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is notifying the public of the sale of counterfeit Peak 14g Instant Milk Powder across states in Nigeria.
On investigation by the Friesland Campina WAMCO Security team, it was discovered that the counterfeited products displayed openly in the market were few as the bulk of the fake Peak 14g Instant Milk Powder were hidden and sold only to customers who understood their language code “the other one”. An undercover of the company’s security team was sent with the language code and a carton of the counterfeit was purchased.
