UACN Risks Sanctions Over Expired Ice ream

Environmental health
officers attached to the Port Harcourt City Local Government Council in Rivers State have evacuated and disposed of a pick-up load of expired ice cream discovered in the cold room of a popular food and beverages company in Port Harcourt.
The team, led by the state President of the Environmental Health Officers, Reuben Nwechenu, said the ice cream, which expired since 2014, was discovered following a tip-off.
Nwechenu, said the action was taken to prevent unsuspecting members of the public from purchasing the expired ice cream for consumption, thereby triggering epidemic.
He said the management of the food company located on Azikiwe Road in Port Harcourt will be sanctioned for allegedly selling expired food items to the public.
However, as at the time of filing this report, efforts by our correspondent to get the management of United African Company of Nigeria (UACN) to comment on the matter proved abortive.
