The FCT Director of the agency, Mr Ozigis Abdulsalam, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Friday.
According to him, the FCT department of the agency acted upon an intelligence information and carried out inspection on pizza outlets and discovered that two of them were using expired dough blend seasoning.
“The two outlets were also using deep ham slices in the preparation of their pizzas.
“The act amounted to dereliction of best practices and can jeopardise food safety and lead to public health issues.”
Abdulsalam further said that the ingredients were seized and the company was penalised.
The company is expected to submit an undertaking not to be found engaging in such poor practice again.
