The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has ramped up its market surveillance, leading to the seizure of numerous unapproved products in Ghana.

This increased scrutiny follows the FDA's sanctions against over 100 manufacturing companies nationwide from January to the present for promoting unapproved products.

During a recent operation covered by the media, James Aboakye, the FDA’s Market Surveillance team leader, emphasized the need for public vigilance.

Aboakye advised consumers to thoroughly examine product details, including food, medicine, and personal care items like shower gels, to ensure they comply with FDA regulations.
