Bullion Go-Neat Global Ltd, manufacturers of Cocosamba Herbal Mixture has stated that it was collaborating with National Agency For Food And Drug Administration And Control (NAFDAC) to unravel those behind the counterfeiting of the product.

The company gave the reassurance in a statement issued today and signed by its Managing Director, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo.

In the statement, it disabused the insinuation of indifference or complicity by his company, as contained in some online publications concerning the counterfeiting of the product, which remains a premium brand on the Bullion stable.

Ajadi said no company worth its name would sit by and watch its highly priced reputation won over the years on the sacrifices of diligence being rubbished by unscrupulous elements in the society.

This he said was what informed its proactive reaction to the said rumour and a double check of the company’s quality control measures.

“Contrary to the claims made in these reports, our company has been proactive by lodging a formal complaint earlier in 2022 with the Director of the Investigation & Enforcement Directorate at l(NAFDAC in Apapa, Lagos.

” This complaint specifically highlighted the counterfeiting of our product, Cocosamba Milk and Chocolate Flavored with Herbal Extract, which carries the legitimate NAFDAC registration number A8-9149L.

“It is imperative to clarify that prior to the registration of Cocosamba Milk and Chocolate Flavored with Herbal Extract, our company produced Cocosamba Bitters Alcoholic drinks with NAFDAC No A8-4418L.

“However, due to low market demand, the production of Cocosamba Bitters Alcoholic Drink was discontinued, and it has not been in production since the expiry date of the license”, Ajadi said..

According to him, Bullion Go-Neat Global Limited remained steadfast in its commitment to upholding best standards in manufacturing processes.

“We commend NAFDAC for its pivotal role in ensuring manufacturers comply with statutory laws related to standardization.

“During our recent end-of-year gathering, Oguntade Samuel Oluseyi, the General Manager of our company, emphasized this commitment.

” The Managing Director, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, and our entire management team have been shocked by the circulating news and want to assure our stakeholders that all necessary actions are being taken to promptly address this issue.

“Attached herewith is a copy of the letter previously submitted to NAFDAC, outlining our concerns and seeking their intervention. We encourage the public to await the outcome of the ongoing investigation and appreciate the continued support and understanding of our customers, importers, distributors, and healthcare providers.

In our commitment to resolving this matter, we are actively collaborating with the Investigation and Enforcement Directorate at NAFDAC to identify individuals responsible for counterfeit products.

“We pledge our commitment to reporting and taking legal action against anyone found guilty of this illegal offense”,.

The company said its doors were open for any collaboration or information likely to help arrest the perpetrators of the counterfeiting as part of the bid to rid the society of unwholesome products.
