\"\"<\/a>The Food and Drugs Board has blacklisted 28 sachet water and fruit drink producers in the country for non-registration and operating under unhygienic conditions.<\/p>\n

It follows a research report released by the Ghana Chemical Society (GCS) which revealed that 85% of the \u2018pure\u2019 water produced in the country does not meet required safety standards.<\/p>\n

The report ruffled lots of nerves with the country already reeling under a cholera epidemic.<\/p>\n

Social Commentators implored the GCS to put out the list of unhygienic pure water producers to help consumers make the right purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n

On Friday the FDB released a list of 28 companies which flout the Board\u2019s regulations.<\/p>\n

The blacklisted companies are as follows; Triumphant filtered water, Unique mineral water, Icon fresh drinking water, Safari filtered natural water, Crystal snow drinking water, Big star drinking water, Rockman drinking water,\u00a0Eye Ewurade<\/em> drinking water, Tak-top filtered drinking water, and Flori filtered water.<\/p>\n

The others are, Hollow filtered drinking water,\u00a0Enyinda<\/em> natural mineral water, Principles filtered drinking water, Future drinking water, NJoy filtered drinking water, PEP drinking water, Franklin Filtered drinking water, Regco drinking water, Cleat taste natural mineral water,\u00a0Eye Adom<\/em> filtered drinking water, Ever clear drinking water.<\/p>\n

The list also includes fruit drink companies; BIDASH non alcoholic beverages, Victory fresh pineapple juice, Fruitco Foods processing Ltd, Prime fruit processing, Prince processing company.<\/p>\n

Owners of the various companies have also been invited for questioning by the police and FDB officials, Joy News\u2019 Hannah Odame reports.<\/p>\n

She says the Board has set up a post surveillance team tasked with the responsibility of clearing products of the blacklisted companies from the market.<\/p>\n
