NAFDAC uncovers suspected fake Parago candies hidden in rice warehouse

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a warehouse where counterfeit Parago candies were allegedly hidden among other products. The discovery was recorded in a video on Thursday, revealing officials inspecting the facility and finding the suspected counterfeit candies concealed under a tarpaulin inside cartons labeled with different product names.

One official explained that the products were being hidden in cartons labeled "Toy with Candy," despite the contents being identified as Parago. The official pointed out another carton with the same label and product, highlighting the deception. The tarpaulin was found filled with the suspected counterfeit Parago candies, indicating the extent of the concealment.

The footage also showed the original Parago carton allegedly hidden in a rice storage facility. NAFDAC has not yet disclosed the quantity of products recovered, the location of the warehouse, the operators, or any arrests made.
