The Consumer Protection council (“CPC”) has announced the re-opening of the Krispy Kreme store in Victoria Island, Lagos.

In a statement released by the consumer protection watchdog, it said that the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), as the primary and key food safety standards regulator “is satisfied that the vital question of safe operations have been resolved sufficiently to allow operations accordingly.”

The CPC in conjunction with NAFDAC had on 24th August 2018 placed the newly opened store under locks for allegedly using expired filling ingredients to make doughnuts.

According to the statement released by CPC, NAFDAC has pursued its regulatory process and has permitted the doughnut and coffee company to re-open and continue its business because it is satisfied that their operations and consumption of their products currently meets prevailing safety standard.
