If the container is dented or bloated don\u2019t buy because it could result in food poisoning,\u201d Mr. Nkum appealed.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the FDB will be educating consumers to make decisions on their own without the need for personnel of the FDB to be around to guide them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFDB is not everywhere in the Brong Ahafo region so when we intensify our education, the consumers would definitely be empowered so that they can make decisions that would save their lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are using the various radio stations around, I am much grateful to the various radio stations and journalists, who are helping FDB to educate the citizenry as how to avoid food poisoning through eating expired foods, \u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Nkum said most of the products were seized at the big market centers in the region including Techiman, Berekum, Goaso, Yeji, Atebubu and Sampa.
