NAFDAC Certified Companies in Singapore

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is Nigeria's federal regulatory authority responsible for the safety, quality, and efficacy of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and related products. Established in 1993 and operating under the Federal Ministry of Health, NAFDAC regulates all food and consumer products sold in Nigeria, including requirements for halal labelling and compliance. Nigeria is Africa's most populous country, with a Muslim population estimated at over 90 million — predominantly in the northern states — making it one of Africa's largest halal consumer markets. NAFDAC's product registration and market surveillance programmes include review of halal claims, and the agency participates as an observer in OIC food safety and standards discussions. NAFDAC is recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the African Union. For food and pharmaceutical exporters targeting the Nigerian market, NAFDAC registration is a mandatory legal requirement, and demonstrating halal compliance to NAFDAC standards is essential for products targeting Nigeria's Muslim consumer base.
