Lately, Erisco Foods Limited has found itself in the midst of an unwarranted controversy, driven by baseless allegations from one Chioma Egodi Jnr. These allegations claim that Erisco’s product, Nagiko Tomato Mix, contains unhealthy levels of sugar, purportedly capable of posing serious health risks. I think without any proof, I can categorically state that these claims are not only unfounded but have also been thoroughly debunked and has no scientific backing.
Erisco Foods Limited I know is a renowned Nigerian company that stands as a beacon of resilience and excellence in the face of challenging economic conditions. With a commitment to adhering to global best practices in food manufacturing and the value chain, the company has consistently set the standard for quality and safety. Erisco Foods Limited is proud to hold certification from the prestigious Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), a testament to its unwavering dedication to excellence.
In a market dominated by foriegn tomato paste products, Erisco Foods Limited has not only thrived but has also successfully positioned Nagiko Tomato Mix as a high-value product.

The company boasts one of the finest laboratories in Nigeria, ensuring that all products meet stringent quality criteria before reaching consumers. Erisco Foods Limited introduces products in carefully monitored batches, complete with traceable numbers to ensure transparency and accountability. We eagerly await details of the specific product batches under scrutiny.
Beyond its commitment to product quality, Erisco Foods Limited has consistently demonstrated its dedication to the well-being of Nigerians. Through various initiatives, including the construction and donation of a medical facility in Amichi, Nnewi South LGA, and substantial donations during the COVID-19 lockdown, the company has shown unwavering support for the Nigerian community. Erisco Foods Limited has also recognized and rewarded individuals who have positively represented Nigeria on the global stage, exemplifying its commitment to national pride and empowerment.
The recent social media frenzy surrounding the alleged excess sugar in Nagiko Tomato Mix is devoid of scientific evidence. Erisco Foods Limited urges Nigerians to disregard such emotionally charged claims and to rely on laboratory analyses and scientific research for accurate information. The company remains committed to providing high-quality products that adhere to global best practices, NAFDAC and SON standards, and other relevant agency approvals.
