The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) is planning to enforce stricter penalties against food businesses that do not follow its safety regulations. This announcement comes after the Authority observed numerous breaches of the Public Health Act.
These violations mainly involve the improper handling of food and food products. The FDA considers these issues a serious threat to public health.
The warnings were issued by a Named official on the sidelines of a sensitization workshop in Takoradi. The workshop aimed to educate food service establishments on necessary safety standards.
The FDA has confirmed that it will be increasing its surveillance and enforcement activities. Businesses found to be non-compliant will face significant consequences.
This action by the FDA is intended to ensure that all food served to the public is handled safely and meets required standards.
The Authority hopes these tougher measures will encourage businesses to prioritize food safety and adhere to all regulations.
Further details on the types of sanctions and the timeline for their implementation are expected.
