“We had reports that there were plastic eggs so we requested the claimant to bring us sample of the eggs so that we can examine them and when we received the eggs we realized that it was actually real eggs, but rotten eggs and plastics do not deteriorate in the manner in which real eggs does.”
“We have the smell characteristics of rotten eggs that is what we have, we have not come across plastic eggs in the market,” Agrah stressed.
Reports suggested that plastic eggs were on sale on the Ghanaian market. This caused many people to be worried.
However, the FDA has said that there is no need to fear. They also assured that the FDA is on the alert to protect the wellbeing of Ghanaians.

This is not the only ‘fake product’ alert that has hit the Ghanaian market recently.
Reports, particularly, from social media showed there was packaged rice suspected to have been produced from plastic materials and being sold on the Ghanaian market.
But the FDA said samples it received from Ghanaians showed that they were actually authentic and not plastic after laboratory investigations.
