In a statement released via on Friday, the agency revealed that Promasidor Nigeria Ltd—the authorised manufacturer of Cowbell products—had notified them of fake products in the market designed to closely resemble the original Cowbell “Our Milk” 12g sachet.

NAFDAC clarified that Promasidor stopped producing Cowbell “Our Milk” in September 2023, replacing it with Cowbell “Our Creamy Goodness.” The counterfeit products currently circulating are fake imitations of the phased-out “Our Milk” brand.

The agency stressed that these counterfeits were neither produced nor distributed by Promasidor, warning that they bear unauthorised use of the Cowbell name, packaging design, and even a falsified NAFDAC registration number.

Highlighting the dangers, NAFDAC warned that consuming such counterfeit milk could expose Nigerians to toxic substances, harmful additives, or diluted ingredients—leading to food poisoning, allergic reactions, organ damage, or even death. Infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly were identified as particularly vulnerable.

• Product Name: Cowbell “Our Milk” 12g sachet

• Claimed Manufacturer: Promasidor Nigeria Ltd

• Production Date: 04/2025
