Nafdac files appeal on fanta sprite court ruling

It appears that you're referring to a recent news article about the Nigerian Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) filing an appeal against a court ruling regarding Fanta and Sprite.

For those who may not be aware, the controversy surrounds the alleged presence of high levels of benzene, a known carcinogen, in Fanta and Sprite, two popular soft drinks manufactured by The Coca-Cola Company. In 2019, a Nigerian court ruled in favor of a consumer who claimed that the drinks were harmful to his health, and ordered Coca-Cola to pay him N100 million (approximately $270,000 USD) in damages.

NAFDAC, the regulatory agency responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of food and drugs in Nigeria, has now filed an appeal against the court's ruling, citing that the agency was not properly involved in the case and that the court's decision was based on incomplete information.

The appeal is likely to be a significant development in this ongoing controversy, as it could potentially affect the future of Fanta and Sprite sales in Nigeria and other countries where the drinks are popular.
