The Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Limited has faulted claims that
its products, Fanta and Sprite when taken with Vitamins C are poisonous.
In a statement by its management Wednesday, the firm said information
on the safety of benzoic and ascorbic acids as ingredients in soft
drinks, citing a Lagos High Court order, is misleading.
“In the judgement delivered on February 15, 2017 in a suit involving
Fijabi Adebo Holdings Limited & Dr. Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo vs.
Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (NBC) & National Agency for Food
and
Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the Lagos High Court
dismissed all claims against NBC and held that the company had not
breached its duty of care to consumers and that there was no proven case
of negligence against it.
