The Ministry of Trade and Industry on Tuesday ordered traders to remove all goods with improper labelling, especially those without English labelling, from the shelves by April 21.
A statement issued in Accra said the General Labelling Rules require that foods, drugs and goods be properly labelled.
“Labelling should include name of food or drug, list of ingredient, durability, storage conditions and instructions for use. The rest are batches of
production, net content, country of origin and address of producer.”
The Ministry said it would, with effect from April 22 authorise the seizure of all goods without proper labelling.
