Diana Asamoah is calling on the FDA to take action against pastors who sell unapproved ‘sobolo’
Ghanaian gospel musician Diana Asamoah is calling on the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) to take action against pastors who sell drinks labelled as ‘sobolo’ in churches without health approval.
Speaking on her show on Angel FM, the “Onyame Tumfo” singer raised concerns about the safety of such practices.
She pointed out that some pastors sell ‘sobolo’ as a form of “Jesus’ blood” for spiritual purposes, even though the FDA has not certified it as safe for consumption.
“Some pastors market sobolo as ‘blood’ despite the FDA not having tested it for safety. I am appealing to the FDA to carry out thorough inspections in churches to ensure these items are safe for consumption,” she said.
Diana Asamoah believes that before selling food or drinks in church, pastors should involve health experts to carry out medical checks.
According to her, this would help prevent health issues among church members who consume these products.
“Before selling sobolo or similar items, pastors should have medical doctors test their members’ health to confirm the product’s suitability,” she added.
She also said that there have been reports of people developing health problems like diabetes after consuming such unapproved items.
“There have been cases of people developing illnesses like diabetes after consuming such products,” she noted.
