The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has intensified regulatory scrutiny on imported frozen chicken, meat, and fish following renewed public concerns over food safety, including the recent ban on “chofi” in parts of the country.
According to the Authority, the move is part of a broader enforcement effort aimed at strengthening oversight of frozen food imports and safeguarding consumers from unsafe products.
The FDA revealed that it has engaged importers on mandatory site‑verification procedures to ensure all imported frozen foods originate from hygienic, certified, and properly regulated facilities abroad.
Officials explained that these inspections are designed to confirm compliance with international food safety standards—covering production, storage, and handling—before products are shipped to Ghana.
The Authority says the enhanced measures are intended to reduce public health risks associated with unsafe food consumption and improve monitoring across the frozen food supply chain.
The FDA added that it will continue collaborating with importers and relevant stakeholders to ensure only safe, high‑quality frozen products reach the Ghanaian market.
