The Ho Municipal Assembly has recently destroyed expired and harmful beverages and food items seized from two retail stores and a warehouse belonging to businesswoman, Madam Angela Nukunu. This destruction was carried out at the Integrated Recycling and Compost Plant (IRECOP) in the Ho Municipality, following a court order after the owner was convicted by the Ho District Court.
The seized items included various types of drinks and food products, such as Appela Orange Cocktail, Choco Cola, Rambo Citrus, Fanta, and several energy drinks among others. Over 224 individual items and 342 cartons were destroyed, with the remaining recyclable materials being handled separately. Environmental Health Officer, Rev.
Lawrence Senya, emphasized the importance of protecting public health and preventing unsafe food products from entering the market. He also urged consumers to be vigilant when purchasing these products, checking expiry dates, and examining containers for any damage or unusual conditions that might indicate tampering or spoilage.
Madam Nukunu was found guilty of distributing expired beverages without proper permits and obstructing Environmental Health Officers during their investigations. The court sentenced her to a fine and imprisonment for the duration of the offense. This operation is expected to serve as a warning to other traders dealing in expired and unwholesome food products, as the Ho Municipal Assembly continues to enforce food safety regulations to protect the public.
