Contrary to rumors of plastic fish having found its way to the Nigerian market, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has dismissed these rumors.
Dr. Abubakar Jimoh, the Agency’s spokesman, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said following “a thorough investigation and analysis of some unsuspected plastic fish samples’’ in its laboratory, there are no plastic fishes being sold in the country.
“The suspected sample of the fish, after thorough investigation, was confirmed to contain protein and fat which is normal to fish.
“The fish was, however, found to be unwholesome due to serious bacterial contamination, NAFDAC said.
“While encouraging Nigerians to watch carefully the kind of fish they buy, it is, however, important to stress that there is no plastic fish in Nigeria.’’
