Lesson Content

Rules And Regulations For food And Drug Administration

NAFDAC ensures that food and drugs are safe for consumption. Below are three of their key rules:

1. Labeling: Every product must have a clear and visible NAFDAC registration number. this shows the product has been approved for public use.
2. Inspection: Factories producing food or drugs are regularly inspected to ensure quality.
3. prohibition: Harmful substances, such as expired or unapproved drugs, cannot be sold.

Why Food and Drug Rules Are Needed

Food and medicines can affect health, so their production, sale and use must follow safety rules. In Nigeria, NAFDAC regulates and controls relevant products such as food, drugs and packaged water. Pupils only need to understand the simple idea: approved products should be properly packaged, labelled and used as directed by a responsible adult.

Safe Choices for Children

• Do not take medicine without a trusted adult.
• Do not eat food with a torn pack, strange smell or expired date.
• Check that packaged products have a clear label.
• Tell an adult about suspicious or damaged products.

Use empty, clean packages for a supervised label-identification activity; do not ask pupils to taste any product.
