He was retailing the fake product at the Accra Central  Business District (Okaishie) Zone 18, around the Fire Service Area.<br \/>\nA statement signed by Dr. Stephen K. Opuni, Chief Executive of FDB,  and copied to the Ghana News Agency on Monday noted that an evaluation  of samples of the fake Exeter Corned Beef further revealed that some of  the cans had the original expiry dates cleaned and replaced with a fake  expiry date of December, 2012 while in some instances the products had  expired since January, 2008.<br \/>\nThe FDB assured the public that  with the assistance of the security agencies it would do everything  possible to rid the market of any such fake corned beef.The FDB said its  investigations revealed that two different corned beef products, CB  Corned Beef and Matador Corned Beef, had been relabelled by pasting  Exeter Corned Beef labels on them.<br \/>\nAccording to the FDB, the  original Exeter Corned Beef permitted for sale in Ghana had a  lithograph labelling, (i.e. the label is printed directly on the can and  not on paper), and therefore asked the public to look out for that  feature when buying any Exeter Corned Beef.<br \/>\nIt also cautioned  distributors and retailers against the supply, display and sale of the  fake Exeter Corned Beef since such acts contravened Section 3 of the  Food and Drugs Law, 1992 (PNDCL 305B).<br \/>\nThe law states: \u201cAny  person who labels, packages, sells or advertises any food in a manner  that is false, misleading or deceptive as regards its character, nature,  value, substance, quality, composition, merit or safety, commits an  offence.\u201d The Board advised the public to report any persons associated  with the distribution of the fake Exeter Corned Beef or any other  fake\/imitated food product to the Food and Drugs Board on any of the  following telephone numbers: 0244-337235, 0244-337243, 0244-337247,  0244-337251.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A retailer has been arrested for re-labelling fake and expired corned beef by wrapping Exeter Corned Beef labels over existing labels to deceive unsuspecting consumers into thinking that they are purchasing a genuine product.
