- Inspection: Factories that produce food or drugs must be regularly inspected to ensure quality.
- Prohibition: Harmful substances, such as expired or unapproved drugs, must not be sold.

Note for Teachers Using This Lesson Plan
Ensure to engage pupils with practical examples to keep their interest alive. Allow them to share stories of experiences with food or drug products. Use real-life scenarios to illustrate the dangers of not following NAFDAC rules. Happy teaching!
