NAFDAC denies registration of ‘lung-cleansing herbal tea’ for smokers

The Public Office for Food and Medication Organization and Control (NAFDAC) has discredited claims that it endorsed a natural item promoted as “lung-purifying tea” for smokers.

Mojisola Adeyeye, chief general of NAFDAC, in a proclamation on Saturday, December 14, explained that the item, recognized as Lungitox (Smokers Pride), was rarely endorsed and had its enrollment application dismissed because of its unverified wellbeing claims.

“The consideration of the Public Organization for Food and Medication Organization and Control (NAFDAC) has been attracted to a deceptive video flowing via online entertainment, charging that NAFDAC endorsed the enlistment of a home grown item guaranteeing that ‘smoking is sound’ when utilized with their item,” the assertion read.

“NAFDAC wishes to completely express that this guarantee is misleading and totally unwarranted. The item being referred to — Lung Detox Tea or Lungitox (Smokers Pride) or any comparative item — isn’t enrolled by NAFDAC. The deceitful person behind this item had applied for enrollment, however the application was fully dismissed because of the unconfirmed and hazardous case that smoking could be made ‘solid’ by consuming the item.”

NAFDAC reaffirmed its obligation to safeguarding general wellbeing and guaranteeing that main safe and deductively approved items are endorsed.

“NAFDAC stays resolute in its order to safeguard general wellbeing and guarantee that main protected, compelling, and deductively validated items are endorsed. We sentence any endeavor to deceive or jeopardize people in general with bogus cases.

Adeyeye gave contact data to detailing such cases, asking Nigerians to stay careful.
