NAFDAC Pressured to Inspect Controversial ‘Organic Weight Gain Pap’ Amid Nigerian Parents’ Concerns
Nigerians are urging the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to investigate a viral product known as “organic weight gain pap” targeted at babies.
The product, which is being promoted heavily on social media, claims to help infants gain weight quickly, raising concerns among parents and health professionals about its safety and authenticity.
Critics are questioning the ingredients, preparation processes, and potential health risks associated with the pap, especially since it is marketed as “organic” without regulatory approval.
Many worry that it could contain harmful substances or lack proper nutritional balance for babies.
Health experts have advised parents to be cautious and stick to medically approved and nutritionally balanced foods for their children.
The public outcry underscores the need for NAFDAC to act swiftly to investigate the product, enforce regulations, and ensure consumer safety in the face of such unverified health claims.
