A Colossal Pressure is mounting on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to sack the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Mrs. Delese Mimi Darko over recall of COA FS from the Market.
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) ordered persons who have in their possession the food supplement COA FS, to return the products to the manufacturer or point of sale. According to the FDA, laboratory analysis on random COA FS products picked from the manufacturing company and the market, showed it was not safe for consumption.
A press release signed by the CEO, Mrs Delese A. A. Darko, the Authority said that upon further checks, the product has been found to contain Escherichia coli, a type of bacteria that normally lives in the intestines.
The FDA said that E Coli as it is popularly known, causes gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. E Coli, it added, when exposed to children and adults, could cause serious health implications some of which could lead to a kidney failure. COA FS, according to the FDA, also showed signs of excessive microbial, mould and yeast contamination.
But,the Manufacturers of the COA FS drug,in a press statement debunked the FDA’s claims insisting that tests ran at the laboratories of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital after the assertion showed the absence of any contaminant in their products.
“In spite of our doubts of the claim, subsequently, we ran a microbial test for the identified samples with batch numbers CFA00003 and CFS00004 on our reference samples from the microbiology laboratory of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital. The results of the microbial tests do not disclose contamination by Yeast, Mould and E.coli as indicated in the FDA press statement,” the release noted.
There have been so many positive stories about the drug as many people who are battling life-threatening diseases like liver problems, cancer, diabetes, covid-19 stroke etc. have all given heartwarming testimonies about the drug.
The order by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) to manufacturers of the popular food supplement, has created elephantine public uproar over how the regulatory body relates to local entrepreneurs or companies who produce ground-breaking products.
In this regard,a reliable source from the Jubilee House has hinted to RazzNews.com that, there is a colossal pressure on President Akufo-Addo by some bigwigs of the New Patriotic Party to sack the FDA boss Mrs. Delese Darko.
According to the Source who spoke to RazzNews.com under strict anonymity , the NPP bigwigs can’t fathom why a locally manufactured product which has gained elephantine popularity could be ordered to withdraw from the market ,thus they believe the conduct of the FDA boss is making the Nana Addo led-administration unpopular so they wouldn’t sit aloof and watch her Jeopardise the party’s chances of retaining power in the December elections.
The source hinted further that,”The NPP “top guns” are saying not a single person has died or has complained of any complications from using the drug so people would think Mrs Delese Darko’s decision is politically motivated so they have vowed to ensure she is sacked because the gaffe to recall COA FS from the market is unpardonable”.
“A meeting is currently ongoing so don’t be surprised if Mrs Delese Darko is fired before the end of this month (April,2020).”The source added.
