The Food and Drugs Authority has warned the general public against consumption of two brands of contaminated sausage.

The Authority issued a statement warning the public on these products AIA Wudy and Pavo which are made from poultry meat, of its contamination and assuring the public that its surveillance team are working very hard to monitor the market with regards to these products.
“The attention of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has been drawn to the recall of Agricola Tre Vali sausage products, namely, AIA Wudy and Pavo brands, by the Italian authorities due to the presence of Listeria bacteria in these sausages made from poultry meat.”
“So far, no AIA Wudy sausages have been found on our market. The FDA directs that anyone in possession of the above-mentioned products should immediately take them to either our Head Office or Regional Offices across the country.”
“The FDA wishes to assure the public that its surveillance teams continue to monitor the markets for any of the above-mentioned products”, the statement further added.
Recall activities ongoing in Europe and other countries necessitated the FDA to also conduct a market surveillance activity which identified Pavo Frankfurt sausages with expiry dates of November 2022 in Ho in the Volta Region. The products have been detained to undergo safe disposal.
Most traders and consumers patronize products without knowledge of the contents and ingredients and the dangers certain products can cause to consumers. The Food and Drugs Authority is doing their bit in ensuring safety of all consumers in the country.
