The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued Public Alert No. 041/2025, warning Nigerians about the recall of Indomie brand noodles (Vegetable Flavour) due to the presence of undeclared allergens—milk and eggs.
According to NAFDAC, the recall notice was issued by Rappel Conso, the French food safety authority, after the allergens were detected in the product. The undeclared ingredients pose a serious health risk to consumers with allergies or intolerances to milk and eggs.
While NAFDAC noted that the risk of the product entering Nigeria is low, owing to the Federal Government’s ban on noodle importation, the Agency cautioned that illicit entry through informal channels, online purchases, or international travel cannot be ruled out.

NAFDAC said it has activated surveillance and vigilance measures nationwide to prevent the possible circulation of the affected product.
Distributors, retailers, and consumers have been advised to remain vigilant and ensure the recalled foreign Indomie Vegetable Flavour noodles are not sold or consumed in Nigeria.
Consumers in possession of the product are advised not to consume it, dispose of it safely, and report any sightings or sales to the nearest NAFDAC office or via 0800-162-3322.
NAFDAC reaffirmed its commitment to protecting public health and ensuring food safety across the country.
