| Palm oil in Western Region |
The palm oil samples were taken from Takoradi market circle, Kojokrom, Agona-Nkwanta, Prestea and Bogoso markets.
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has taken samples of palm oil in major market centres in the Western Region for laboratory test, to ascertain whether it contains traces of banned substance, Sudan IV dye.
The samples were taken at Takoradi market circle, Kojokrom, Agona-Nkwanta, Prestea and Bogoso markets.
A Senior Regulatory Officer at the FDA, Mr. Albert Ankomah explained that the move was necessitated by the recent revelations that some palm oil in 10 market centres in Accra contained the banned substance.
