Expired goods flood 3 Northern Regions

Accra, Oct. 20, Ghanaian Times - The Food and Drugs Board (FDB) has observed that there is a very serious breach of the board's laws and ethical standards in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions.

According to the paper, a post-market surveillance carried out by the board revealed that there was a proliferation of fake and expired pharmaceutical products as well as food beverages on the market.

It has therefore decided to go all out to ensure that the laws of the FDB are strictly adhered to in order to protect the health of the consumer.
