The Ahafo Regional office of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has cautioned persons selling authorized or unapproved drugs and products to desist from the act or face the law.
The regional officer for the FDA Madam Owusua Amponsah said the Authority has taken note of some persons engaging in an illegal sale of drugs and other products.
She warned them to desist from the act because the FDA is currently on a mission to weed them out.
She disclosed the FDA will prosecute all such persons because their activities are a threat to the safety of the people.
Madam Amponsah was speaking to journalists at a short ceremony by the FDA to destroy unwholesome and expired products they received from the Ahafo, Bono, and Bono East Regions.
She advised companies and other individuals to always go through the process for approval of their products before they sell them for the public to consume.
To consumers, she admonished them to take caution when purchasing products.
She said consumers must check for expired dates and other key features to know whether the product they purchased has been approved.
She further assured residents in the region that the FDA would continue to ensure their safety, adding the residents should always inform the FDA nearest to them when they see people selling unwholesome products.
