FDA Warns The Public Against Contaminated Sausages
The Food and Drug Authority has warned the general public of Ghana against two contaminated sausages AIA WUDY AND PAVO BRAND on the market
The attention of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has been drawn to the recall of Agricola Tre Vali sausage products, namely, AlA Wudy and Pavo brands, by the Italian authorities due to the presence of Listeria bacteria in these sausages made from poultry meat.
Two (2) batches with codes 1785417 and 01810919 with expiration date November 30, 2022, are implicated.
Considering the recall activities ongoing in Europe and other countries, the FDA has also conducted a market surveillance activity and Pavo Frankfurt sausages with expiry date November 2022 were found in Ho in the Volta Region. The products have since been detained for safe disposal.
So far, no AlA Wudy sausages have been found on our market. The FDA directs that anyone in possession of the above-mentioned products should immediately take them to either our Head Office or Regional Offices across the country.
The FDA wishes to assure the public that its surveillance teams continue to monitor the markets for any of the above-mentioned products.
