The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned Nigerians about the circulation of counterfeit Cowbell “Our Milk” 12g sachets across the country.
In a public alert issued Friday through its official website, the agency disclosed that Promasidor Nigeria Ltd, manufacturer and marketing authorisation holder of Cowbell “Our Milk,” confirmed the discovery of fake products closely resembling the original brand.
According to NAFDAC, the counterfeits illegally use the Cowbell name, packaging design, NAFDAC registration number, and trademark. Promasidor clarified that the packaging design being imitated was last used in September 2023, stressing that the company neither produced nor distributed the counterfeit milk.
To help consumers identify the genuine product, the agency explained that authentic Cowbell sachets are creamy, feature the updated “Our Creamy Goodness” PNG artwork, and display batch details through laser printing. It added that the coding appears in a designated area on the sachet, while sealing and cutting are carried out automatically on the vertical sides.
NAFDAC urged the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious products to its offices nationwide.
