The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered unlabelled and unregistered cosmetic products, alongside suspicious pharmaceutical packaging materials, during an enforcement operation at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State.
The discovery was made at the Tools and Hardware Complex, where NAFDAC officials conducted an inspection as part of efforts to clamp down on the circulation of unapproved products.
In a statement shared on its official X account on Saturday, November 14, 2026, the agency confirmed that the operation uncovered unregistered cosmetics and packaging materials.
NAFDAC also disclosed that a warehouse located on the top floor of the complex contained packaging materials suspected to be linked to falsified medicines, including Augmentin 625mg and Amplicloxa. Bottle caps bearing the Gordon’s Gin brand were also discovered.
The development has raised concerns about the possible production, repackaging and distribution of counterfeit or unapproved consumer products.
