The Upper East Regional Office of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), says registration of products by the authority is not a guarantee for shop owners to advertise them.

The authority expressed concern about some advertisements on radio and television stations across the country and insisted that no product should be advertised unless such advertisements are approved by the FDA.

The FDA, through its Regulatory Officer 1 (RO 1), Mr Jiah Jiato Juah, said the FDA in its quest to sanitize the system to ensure public health and safety, demanded that adverts on products must also be approved.

Mr Juah was speaking at a training programme in Bolgatanga, organized by the FDA for supermarket and shop operators on good storage and distribution practices in the Region.
