The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has seized 98 unregistered herbal medicinal products during a market surveillance operation that took place from November 22 to 24, 2025, in Awoshie and Boundary Road in Accra.
The confiscated items include well-known products such as Amenazel Herbal Tonic, Amenazel Herbal Bitters, and Poget Herbal Mixture, all of which were being sold without the necessary FDA registration.
According to the Authority, the operation is part of ongoing nationwide initiatives aimed at safeguarding public health by eliminating unapproved and potentially hazardous products from the market.
The FDA has warned traders and manufacturers who persist in distributing unregistered products, emphasising that enforcement actions will escalate in the upcoming weeks.
“To those selling unregistered products, we will not relent in our commitment to ensuring public health and safety, so sooner than you think, we will get to you,” the Authority cautioned.
All confiscated products will be disposed of safely in accordance with FDA protocols.
