Mr Gordon Kwabena Akurugu, Volta Regional Director of Food and Drug Authority (FDA) has warned the consuming public against buy-one-get-one-free enticement adverts in the Yuletide.
He said the alarming adverts usually failed to satisfy standards and quality measurement and alteration of expiry dates to deceive unsuspecting consumers and urged them not to fall to the fraudulent schemes.
Mr Akurugu, who made this known at the 2020 FDA Volta Regional Office Carol Service disclosed that consumers needed to consciously patronise products from accredited outlets for safe foods and drugs to avoid buying substandard goods with public health issues and complications.
