No Vegetable Flavour Noodles In Nigerian Market, Indomie Clarifies

Indomie Nigeria has clarified that Vegetable Flavour noodles are not manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold in Nigeria, following a safety alert from the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

The alert, issued in August 2025, referred to a product recall in France, and Indomie Nigeria emphasised that its locally produced noodles are safe for consumption and comply with NAFDAC regulations.

The company urged consumers to rely on verified information and distinguish between locally manufactured and imported products.

It stated that the product referenced in the NAFDAC alert is not manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold in Nigeria.

It added that “as clearly stated in NAFDAC’s official press release, the affected product recall was from France in August 2025, and the alert was issued purely as a precautionary measure to safeguard the Nigerian public.

“Indomie Nigeria does not produce or market any noodle variant called Vegetable flavour, and no such product exists within Indomie Nigeria’s portfolio. All Indomie noodles produced by Dufil Prima Foods in Nigeria are safe for consumption under strict quality control processes and in full compliance with NAFDAC regulations.”

The Company added that “the packaging and product display shown in reports circulating online are clearly inconsistent with Indomie Nigeria’s approved packaging, branding, and labelling standards.

“It is important to note that the importation of noodles into Nigeria is prohibited under Nigerian law. Any product displaying packaging that is different from Indomie Nigeria’s approved branding should be treated with caution.

“We encourage consumers and media platforms to rely on verified information from official sources and to distinguish clearly between noodles manufactured in Nigeria and imported ones.”
