The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has suspended the activities of Samdoe Enterprise, a water-producing company located at Community 18, Spintex Road.

According to the FDA, the premises of Samdoe Enterprise was closed down as the company had been engaged in the production and distribution of unregistered brands of water products in an unlicensed, unhygienic manufacturing facility.

The FDA said the water products are (i) Perfect Ice Drinking Water, (ii) Aqua Link Drinking Water and (iii) Leaders Drinking Water.

It said the Authority’s Inspection Team uncovered major safety and quality issues, including operation in an unsuitable wooden structure, presence of open drains with algae and fungi growth, dirty filters, and no pest control regime (click here for video).

FDA therefore cautioned the public not to consume the unregistered brands listed above.

“Consumers who have already purchased these products are urged to immediately halt their use and properly dispose of them immediately. Retailers and distributors are also requested to withdraw all these brands from the market,” FDA advised.

It also advised,”It is imperative that consumers exercise caution when selecting water products and opt for products that have been duly registered by the FDA, with an FDA number on the label.”

Meanwhile, the FDA alerted the public to check the registration status of regulated products from the FDA websitehttp://fdaghana.gov.gh or through the ProPer platform – https://bit.ly/ProPerFDA before purchase.
