NAGIKO TOMATO MIX: HOW IS ERISCO FOODS LIMITED COMMITTED TO QUALITY & INTEGRITY ?

 

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’s remarkable journey is a testament to its vision, innovation, and dedication to providing superior products to its consumers.

Erisco Foods Limited firmly believes that any serious allegation must be substantiated by credible laboratory results. 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.We've been running at a loss in the last 9 months – Erisco Foods - Daily  Trust

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. Erisco Foods Limited has a team of qualified experts dedicated to ensuring that Nigerians receive only the finest products, beyond Nagiko Tomato Mix.

Erisco Foods Limited is a leading Nigerian food processing company with a reputation for quality, innovation, and commitment to the Nigerian community. With a dedication to global best practices, Erisco Foods Limited has become a household name, producing top-quality food products that meet the highest industry standards. Erisco Foods Limited takes pride in its contributions to Nigeria’s economic empowerment and growth, demonstrating a deep commitment to the well-being of Nigerians.

A customer-obsessed mindset is no longer the preserve of B2C companies

 

The concept of customer experience (CX) has shifted from customer-centricity to customer obsession, making it much more comprehensive and immersive than ever before. Where customer-centricity sets its sights on understanding and meeting customer needs, customer obsession goes a step beyond by integrating every aspect of a business—leveraging technology, design, and human insights to deliver superior, holistic user experience. This transformation is on fertile ground within the B2B sector, where businesses are recognising the need to provide the same high-quality experiences that B2C customers usually expect, says Avinash Maharaj, Head of Digital Product Strategy at fintech specialist e4.

 

Being customer-obsessed is a business approach that puts customer needs at the centre of an organisation’s culture and operations instead of paying lip service to the idea of good customer service. “It involves a deep commitment to exceeding customer expectations at…

Oyetunji shared the profound impact this recognition had on him. “I was a national star,” he said, still amazed by the turn of events. “The irony is that I had never won any prize in primary and…

In the face of mounting global environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, and increasing focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) awareness, sustainable trade practices and supply chains have the potential to radically transform Africa’s economic future.

From green logistics to fair trade and circular economy principles, sustainable trade practices have a significant positive impact on global and local trade. In addition to environmental benefits, they enhance market competitiveness and open access to new markets that value a commitment to sustainability.
