FDA orders recall of ‘contaminated’ COA FS supplement

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has announced a recall of the COA FS Food Supplement after some samples of the product were found to be contaminated.

The FDA has also directed the public to return the product to the manufacturer, place of purchase or any of the FDA offices across the country.

The FDA in a press release said samples of COA FS picked from the market and the manufacturing facility of COA Herbal Centre in Workroom near Cape Coast showed excessive microbial, mold and yeast contamination.

The samples were also found to contain Escherichia coli (E.Coli) which causes diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.

“In view of the above, those who are in possession of the product are being directed to return the product to the manufacturer, place of purchase or any of the FDA offices across the country,” the statement said.

“Meanwhile, the manufacturer, COA Herbal Centre, has been directed by the FDA to recall the product from the Ghanaian market”.
