Dufil Prima Foods makers of Indomie noodles have assured that their product is safe for consumption in face of a recent red flag raised by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), concerning a different product.
According to Indomie Nigeria, the NAFDAC alert was based on a product recall carried out in France in August 2025, and the agency’s notice was issued only as a precautionary measure to protect Nigerian consumers.
Dufil Foods said in a statement released on Sunday December 21, that the product referenced in the NAFDAC alert is not manufactured, imported, distributed or sold in Nigeria, and has no connection to Indomie noodles produced locally by Dufil Prima Foods.
“The product mentioned in the alert does not originate from Nigeria and is not part of Indomie Nigeria’s production or supply chain,” the company said. “It should not be linked in any way to noodles manufactured by Dufil Prima Foods in Nigeria.”
Indomie Nigeria also clarified that it does not produce or market any noodle variant called ‘Vegetable Flavour’, stressing that no such product exists within its Nigerian portfolio.
“All Indomie noodles produced in Nigeria are manufactured under strict quality control processes and in full compliance with NAFDAC regulations,” the statement added. “Our products remain safe for consumption.”
The company further raised concerns about images and videos circulating online, which it said show packaging that does not match Indomie Nigeria’s approved branding and labelling standards.
“Packaging and product displays being shared online are clearly inconsistent with our official packaging,” Indomie Nigeria said. “Consumers should treat any product that looks different from our known branding with caution.”
