    This should be stopped at the entry points, though it is good for the general public to be notified for awareness, though without a shut down date of legitimate factory, how do we do a proper check?

    Exeter is a city in Devon, a county in the west of England. It was founded in the early 12th century. Good to see that the Ghanaian FDA are on the ball.

    The FDA did not tell us what they found on testing. They told us what they had been "reliably informed". This is lazy work, the standard only found in Ghana!

    You have collected your duty on these fake goods already, right?

  • Seniorman 9 years ago

    If the product is up to the right standard there's nothing to worry about after all the labels might have been in print already and might have been traded over. Exeter is still on supermarket shelves in UK. Conduct tests befo ...

  • Kk3 9 years ago

    Who cares whether it is manufactured in Argentina, Brazil or Kokofu as long as it's wholesome and edible. If the FDA is capable then they should test to see whats in the product and quit sounding such infantile alarms. Additi ...

    WAS THE CORNED BEEF EXAMINED AT GHANA'S PORTS BEFORE BEING ALLOWED IN THE FOOD CHAIN?

    THAT'S GHANA FOR YOU. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE BRAINS TO EXPLAIN TO GHANAIANS WHAT MAKES THE ARGENTINA CORNED BEEF UNWHOLESOME.

  • ODASANI BA 9 years ago

    This FDA alert is bogus. If the original company has a subsidiary in Brazi to produce the same product under the same conditions, bon, we are for it. Brazil is not an under-developed nation. It is a great nation manufactur ...

    We don't need to be told to report any shop or any person selling this product. They are being sold openly even by most big shops, so let the so called FDA go round themselves and find out instead of giving telephone numbers ...

    Safety of a product for consumption can only be determined through testing. That a product is produced in one country with a label from a different country is an industrial practice. What test did the FDA perform to determine ...
