byMavis FanteviOctober 21, 20260 The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), with support from the Ghana Police Service, has shut down an unlicensed production facility in Senfi Bekwai in the Ashanti Region linked to Unni Associates Company Limited, producers of Arcan Bitters.

The enforcement operation followed reports that the company had continued producing Arcan Bitters despite an earlier directive from the FDA to cease operations.

During the operation, the enforcement team detained 1,580 cartons of finished products, 5,000 empty bottles and 23 barrels of bulk alcohol at the facility.

The action forms part of the FDA’s efforts to enforce regulatory requirements and prevent the production of products under conditions that may pose risks to public health and safety.

The continued production despite the earlier directive prompted the latest enforcement action, with the authority working alongside the police to stop the operations at the facility.

The FDA has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that manufacturers comply with the country’s regulatory requirements, stressing the importance of safeguarding public health and safety.

The authority continues to enforce compliance among businesses involved in the production and distribution of regulated products.
