The Food and Drugs Authority, with support from the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service, has closed three facilities in Nugua for selling illicit FDA-regulated products.
The action follows months of investigations by the FDA, which revealed that the facilities were involved in the sale of nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas," Benylin mixed with codeine, a controlled medicine, and unregistered shisha products.
The closure forms part of the FDA's mandate to protect public health and safety, according to the Authority.
The FDA reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing regulations and clamping down on the illegal sale and distribution of unregulated and harmful products.
