The Perfect Ice, Aqua Link, and Leaders drinking water products have all been advised against by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
According to a statement from the FDA, Samdoe Enterprise, which is based in Accra’s Community 18 and produces the aforementioned water products, was functioning in an unclean manner.
It explained that there were exposed drains with fungus and algae growth and that the company was functioning in an inappropriate wooden structure.
The FDA claimed that the company that made the water also processed it through filthy filters.
“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,” the FDA said.
The Authority advised the public to refrain from drinking unregistered brands, such as the three water products described above, and other unregistered brands.
“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.
