Bida Council Shuts Ice Cream Factories Over Flies and Unlicensed Production

The Bida Local Government Council in Niger State has shut down several ice cream production facilities after an inspection found poor hygiene practices. Officials said flies were found around ice cream mixtures, while some products had no labels. The affected facilities were also said to lack operating licences and NAFDAC registration. The council said laboratory tests raised concerns about the products' nutritional quality and possible health risks. Production has been halted, and operators who breach food-safety rules may face sanctions.
