The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has urged the public to prioritise their health, what they eat, and buy food and canned products from vendors and shops certified by the Authority.
Francisca Patoah Gyarko, the Acting Bono Regional Head of the FDA, gave the advice indicating that food borne diseases had become a global health concern.
She said statistics from the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that more than 420,000 people die globally from food borne diseases every year.
The deaths are reported among the 600,000 who came into contact with contaminated food around the world every year.
