Jigawa destroys 5,520 cartons of expired noodles

The Jigawa State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (JSPHCDA) has destroyed 5,520 cartons of expired noodles in a move to safeguard public health.

The expired food items were destroyed through controlled burning on Wednesday in Dutse, in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO), after they were found to have exceeded their approved shelf life.

The State Cold Chain Officer of the agency, Mr Yusuf Inuwa, said the noodles were originally supplied by WHO to support the National Immunisation Plus Days (NIPDs) campaign scheduled to commence on November 26, 2025.

He explained that the immunisation exercise was later postponed to December 2, following a directive from the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, making it impossible to distribute the noodles before their expiration date.

He said the noodles were immediately retrieved from all 27 local government areas of the state where they had been pre-positioned for distribution during the campaign.
