FDA cautions public against poisonous products during festive season.

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has advised the public to be vigilant about poisonous products on the market during the Christmas festivities._ In purchasing products for the festivities, the FDA wants the public to be cautious against the purchase and consumption of potentially poisonous products. This was because during the festive season most items were often marketed under the guise of promotions and discounted prices. A Principal Regulatory Officer at the FDA in the Central Region, Francisca Obeng in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), revealed that that products nearing expiration were frequently dumped onto the market at exceptionally low prices, posing a risk to unsuspecting consumers. Thus she stressed the importance for consumers to purchase only FDA approved products, check expiry and manufacturing dates while carefully staying away from bloated and dented items.
