A Survey of Metropolitan Food Hygiene and Control

1968

Presently, Ghana is in the process of establishing food laws to augment to existing food handling and marketing regulations of its local councils. These laws are intended to check fraud and other malpractices by food manufacturers and also ensure that wholesome foods are offered for sale to the public under the most sanitary conditions. To provide some background for this, a survey was organised by the Food Research Institute in which research personnel were attached to teams of food inspectors from the offices of the Medical Officers of Health (M.O.H.) of selected urban centres. This survey describes some of the observations made in the Accra metropolitan district.
