NOTICE TO PRODUCERS OF SACHET/BOTTLED WATER PRODUCTS

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has noted with concern the increased number of non-compliance among some sachet/bottled water producers. This has the potential to compromise public health, including causing an outbreak of waterborne diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, and typhoid.

The Authority is cautioning all manufacturers who are manufacturing without an FDA manufacturing license and/or whose products are not registered to immediately suspend manufacturing and take steps to regularize their operations or face appropriate regulatory actions.

The FDA's industrial support team is available to provide training and technical support to the industry.

The FDA continues to urge the public to check the registration status of regulated products from the FDA's website - http://fdaghana.gov.gh or through the ProPer platform - https://bit.ly/ProPerFDA before purchase.
