As this year's rainy season intensifies, bakeries across the country face the familiar yet formidable challenge of maintaining food safety amid harsh climatic changes, characterized by increased humidity and moisture in the atmosphere.
These conditions naturally accelerate spoilage, encourage mould growth, which produces toxins in food, and heighten the risk of contamination.
These threats directly impact both the quality of baked goods and consumer health.
To strengthen food safety across Ghana's bakery industry and elevate hygiene practices nationwide, agribusiness leader Olam Agri introduced the Grain Hygiene Standards Management (GHSM) program in July 2023.
