The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has taken action at Makola Market in Accra. They arrested traders selling candy that looks like cigarettes.
This candy is known locally as 'cigarette toffee'. The FDA is trying to stop the sale and distribution of these items.
The operation was part of the FDA's ongoing efforts to protect public health. The agency is focused on products that may appeal to children or be harmful.
Details about the specific health risks associated with the 'cigarette toffee' were not immediately available. The FDA stated its commitment to ensuring product safety across the country.
Further investigations are expected to determine the full extent of the issue and any potential charges.
