The products have also been approved by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and Ghana Standards Authority.
In an interview with GhanaNewsPage.Com, CEO of Qualiford Ghana, Kwabena Opoku Amoah said their success story is as result of years of research into processing and producing chocolate.
âY-Choco as you see it today did not just happen, it took years of research upon research to get here. I remember the very day when we decided to go into producing cocoa products, we borrowed money just to produce chocolate and sell at the inauguration of President Akufo-Addo, but before we could sell the product, it had changed its nature so we had to come back home so we will change it into cocoa drink,â he narrated.
The Y-Choco chocolates have received massive endorsement from celebrated broadcaster, Kwami Sefa Kayi.
