The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has taken action against 16 food businesses in the Greater Accra region. These establishments were found to be without valid hygiene permits.
FDA officials conducted inspections across the region. They identified several infractions related to public health and safety standards.
Among the businesses affected are The Cheesecake House and Alora Beach Resort. Both of these are popular eateries in Accra.
Operating a food establishment in Ghana requires proper permits. These permits ensure that food is prepared and served in safe conditions.
The FDA stated that these closures are necessary to protect public health. Such actions aim to ensure food safety for all consumers.
The affected businesses must now meet all regulatory requirements. They need to acquire the necessary permits before they can reopen.
