Communications Team Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ms Tabitha Apegyine Ayillah has asserted that the repackaged Moshosho expired rice has been approved and certified by the Food and Drugs Authority(FDA) contrary to claims by the Member of Parliament(MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
During a panel discussion on Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana, Tabitha Ayillah justified the decision saying that the rice has not expired as purported although the quality has allegedly been compromised. "Based on the evaluation information provided in the report, a base evaluation is different from an expiry date.
That is not to say that the quality hasn't been compromised.
It has been compromised but it doesn't mean it is unwholesome for consumption" Tabitha Ayillah explained.
