\"Sausages<\/a>The Food and Drug Authority (FDA) has asked the general public to disregard a video clip circulating on social media showing how sausages are produced from dirty, live pigs mixed with blood and faeces.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, Principal Regulatory Officer of the FDA, Kofi Essel said \u201call the sausage manufacturing facilities that are registered with the Food and Drug Authority here in Ghana does not produce sausages like is being shown.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He said the video was a wrong attempt to describe \u00a0the process of producing sausage.<\/p>\n

According to him, they buy either imported and locally produced meat. \u201cWhich is taken through the necessary steps and operation, including the addition of appropriate ingredients\u2026\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is being shown is not true, it is inaccurate and it is mischievous,\u2019\u2019 he noted.<\/p>\n

Mr. Essel also disputed claims, comments \u00a0and suggestions that sausage \u00a0is responsible for fibroid. \u201cThat is ridiculous, that is a fallacy,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

He has, however, allayed the fears of sausage consumers saying all the sausage manufacturing facilities registered under the FDA in Ghana do not produce sausage under the conditions depicted in the video.<\/p>\n
