FDA cautions against medicinal claims surrounding Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah’s sobolo

FDA official Dr Martin Kusi has cautioned Ghanaians against accepting claims that beverages such as sobolo can cure, treat or prevent diseases without scientific and regulatory approval.

According to the FDA official, products promoted for medicinal purposes must undergo the necessary scientific assessment and receive regulatory approval before they can legally be marketed with such claims.

He explained that a beverage becomes a medicinal product when health or disease-treatment claims are made, meaning it must undergo FDA assessment and registration before being marketed for such purposes.
