The packaging and labelling of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) in Nigeria are subject to strict regulations aimed at safeguarding consumers and maintaining equitable trade practices. The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) serve as the primary regulatory bodies responsible for overseeing the enforcement of these regulations. Adherence to these regulations is of paramount importance for FMCG manufacturers and importers to forestall legal and financial repercussions, safeguard their reputations, and prevent harm to consumers.
