The Kano State Consumer Protection Council has seized no fewer than 487 sacks of expired flour at a warehouse located in Dawanau market in the metropolis.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the agency, Musbahu Yakasai on Tuesday.

According to Yakasai, the Acting Managing Director of the Council, Dr. Baffa Dan’Agundi, disclosed this in his office immediately after the evacuation of the flour on Sunday.

According to him, after undergoing a laboratory test, the council confirmed that the flour had already expired.

He said the agency had also confiscated many cartons of different kinds of drinks at Muhammadu Abubakar Rimi Market, Sabon Gari that were found to be expired and being sold to people.

While calling on the general public to always check products’ information before using them, he revealed that all the expired flour and drinks have been evacuated and taken to the council’s warehouse.
