Ayosifam Says All Submitted Products Passed NAFDAC Tests

In Short

Ayosifam says all product samples it submitted to NAFDAC passed NAFDAC laboratory testing.

What Happened: Ayosifam’s NAFDAC Laboratory Test Results

Ayosifam said months of quality testing, hygiene upgrades, and tighter standards led to a clean result from NAFDAC laboratory testing.

The update covers Ayosifam’s staple flour product lines. These include Ayosifam Potato Flour, Ayosifam Fufu Flour, and Ayosifam Cassava Flour (Lafun).

Ayosifam said passing NAFDAC’s “comprehensive laboratory analysis” could open new commercial channels. It listed nationwide retail shelves, bakery supply chains, and food manufacturing as opportunities for its potato flour. It also pointed to households, supermarkets, and export distributors for its fufu flour, and said its cassava flour can meet industrial and domestic demand.

Why It Matters: Market Access For Certified Food Products

NAFDAC approval is a form of regulatory clearance, meaning a government agency has reviewed lab test results for product samples. Ayosifam said this kind of certification can turn local products into “trusted household brands” and support entry into major supermarket chains.

The company also said the milestone could help it secure corporate off take agreements, meaning bulk purchase commitments from businesses. It added that it can target international export markets.

Ayosifam linked the approval to increased demand for its certified flours and a need to scale processing factory capacity. It said this could increase off taking volumes for smallholder cassava and potato farmers in Kangile, Shao, Oke Oyi, and surrounding communities in Kwara State. Ayosifam also said a larger market can mean more guaranteed income and reduced spoilage for farming partners.
