Today, the FDA, in collaboration with the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA), the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Armed Forces, undertook a joint enforcement exercise at the Tema Newtown fishing enclave to safeguard public health.

During the operation, contaminated fish were confiscated from fish handlers for safe disposal to prevent them from entering the food value chain. The fish handlers were also educated on the importance of maintaining good hygiene and adopting safe fish handling and processing practices.

The TMA has also commenced a demolition exercise to pave the way for the clearing of accumulated refuse along the shoreline and further assured the FDA that hygienic platforms will be constructed to provide fish processors with safer and more sanitary facilities for drying and smoking fish.

The FDA remains committed to working with key stakeholders to ensure that food made available to the public is safe, wholesome and of good quality.

As the Authority mandated to protect public health, the FDA will not relent in enforcing food safety and regulatory standards.

We urge the public to always verify that the products they purchase and consume are registered by the FDA. Don’t be swayed by unusually low prices. if a product is ridiculously cheap, it should raise suspicion.
