The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has warned the public against consuming some three water products manufactured by Samdoe Enterprise, located at Community 18, Spintex.
The products are Perfect Ice Drinking Water, Aqua Link Drinking Water and Leaders Drinking Water.
Chief Executive Officer of the FDA, Mrs Delese Mimi Darko, in a statement signed and issued on Wednesday, July 12, said the company was shut down due to the non-adherence to safety and quality in the production of the products.
“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 statement said.
“The public is therefore cautioned 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,” it added.
The FDA advised consumers to exercise caution when selecting water products and opt for those duly registered.
