The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control has announced a ban on Indomie Noodles Vegetable Flavour after discovering the presence of undeclared allergens that could endanger consumers with food sensitivities.
In a statement released on Friday and cited by TVC News via the agency’s official website, NAFDAC disclosed that the recall followed an alert from the French food safety authority, Rappel Conso, which flagged the product for containing milk and eggs not declared on its label.
The statement read,, “Public Alert No. 041/2025. Recall of Indomie brand noodles (Vegetable Flavour Product) due to the presence of undeclared allergens (milk and eggs).”
Product details
According to NAFDAC, the affected product information includes:
Recalled Product: Noodles Vegetable Product
Product Brand Name: Indomie
Batch: All lots
BB Date: 06/02/2026
“NAFDAC noted that Indomie noodles are widely consumed across many countries, stating, “Indomie noodles have become a household staple in many countries. Their popularity is rooted in convenience, versatility, affordability, and the comfort they bring to family meals.”
The agency explained that the likelihood of the recalled product entering Nigeria remains low due to the Federal Government’s existing ban on noodle importation.
However, it stressed the importance of increased vigilance to prevent illegal importation or circulation of the affected product.
NAFDAC revealed that it has activated surveillance measures to guard against the possible entry of the recalled Indomie noodles, adding that access through online purchases or international travel cannot be ruled out.
As part of its response, the agency directed all zonal directors and state coordinators to intensify monitoring efforts and immediately seize the product if found within their jurisdictions.
It also called on distributors, retailers, and consumers to remain alert and ensure the recalled foreign Indomie noodles are neither sold nor consumed.
NAFDAC advised members of the public who may already have the product to dispose of it safely and refrain from consumption.
Consumers were also encouraged to report any suspected sale of the affected product to the nearest NAFDAC office or via 0800-162-3322.
Additionally, the agency urged the public to report any adverse reactions or side effects linked to the consumption of the product through NAFDAC offices nationwide or via the E-reporting platforms available on the agency’s website.
