Reiterating the value proposition of the revamped product, the Executive Director Commercial, Halima Dangote stated that the repackaging is a bold step as NASCON continues to lead product and packaging innovation within the product category” as she enjoined consumers to ask for the Dangote Salt product by name… saying don’t just buy salt, insist on Dangote Salt.

Dangote Salt raised the bar with its new salt packaging, made of a stronger and durable polymer that preserves the quality of the product while reducing the chances of wastage through accidental tearing. The new pack embraces a shift from the traditional yellow and red colours to a classy blue and white pack.
