According to NAFDAC, the illegal importation and sale of foreign unauthorized sugar, originating from Brazil and India, has been discovered in markets located near border communities.

The illegal sugar products have been identified as Usina Bela Vista S/a Sugar and DCM Shriram Sugar and are manufactured by Usina Bela Vista (Grupo Bazan) and DCM Shriram Ltd respectively with each bag weighing 50kg with a shelf life of 24 months (about 2 years).

Usina Bela Vista S/a Sugar is manufactured in Brazil, while DCM Shriram Sugar is imported from India.

These products are being imported through various routes, including Cameroun (Douala), Niger, Chad, and the Benin Republic, into Nigerian border communities in states such as Borno, Adamawa, Lagos, Oyo, and Ogun States.

NAFDAC has identified more than 200 trucks involved in the distribution of this brand of illegal sugar within border communities and markets across Nigeria.

The statement reads;


Monthly, an estimated value of 200 trucks have been found to be distributed within the Nigerian markets in communities including Mubi, Gamboru’gala, Saki, Keshi, Badagry, and Idi – Iroko and sold for N32,000 -N 34,000 per bag.”

Health risks and actions to take
NAFDAC has emphasized that these products are not registered by the agency and are not fortified with Vitamin A, thereby posing a significant risk to public health.

Importers, distributors, retailers, and consumers are urged to exercise caution and vigilance. As such, it is critical to carefully verify the authenticity and physical condition of the products.

According to NAFDAC;

“These products are not registered by NAFDAC and non-fortified with Vitamin A, therefore the illegal importation and marketing of the products poses a risk to the health of consumers, as the safety and quality of the products are not guaranteed.”


“NAFDAC implores importers, distributors, retailers, and consumers to exercise caution and vigilance within the supply chain to avoid the importation, distribution, sale and consumption of the unregistered regulated products. The products’ authenticity and physical condition should be carefully checked.”


“Anyone in possession of the above-mentioned foreign unregistered sugar brand products is advised to submit stock to the nearest NAFDAC office. If you, or someone you know, have consumed this product or suffered any adverse reaction/event after consumption, you are advised to seek immediate medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional.”
