2004年，负责监管尼日利亚药品、食品和化学品的国家食品、药物管理和控制局（NAFDAC）禁止在面包中使用溴酸钾，因为它对人体有有害影响和致癌性。因此，研究人员定期评估各行业的合规水平，结果令人震惊。本次评估在尼日利亚的联邦首都政府所在地进行，从6个地区议会抽取了26种不同品牌的面包。质量评估表明，所有品牌的溴酸钾含量都超过了美国食品和药物管理局建议的最低限度，这表明在FCT流通的大多数面包对人类消费是不安全的。其中两个相对安全的面包样品甚至没有被NAFDAC注册。因此得出结论，紧急步骤。
In 2004 the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the agency responsible for regulating drugs, foods and chemicals in Nigeria, banned the use of potassium bromate in bread on account of its deleterious effect and carcinogenicity in humans. Consequently, researchers periodically evaluate the compliance level by the industries and the results have been alarming. In the present evaluation, carried out in the Nigeria’s federal capital; the seat of government, twenty-six different brands of breads were sampled from the 6 area councils. Quality assessment shows that, all the brands contained potassium bromate in a quantity that exceeded the minimum recommended by the FDA suggesting that most bread circulating in FCT are unsafe for human consumption. Two of the bread samples which were relatively safe were not even registered by NAFDAC. It is therefore concluded that, urgent steps.
