The Food and Drugs Authority has confirmed that allegations leveled against a 52-year-old bread baker Dwamena who was accused of using ‘Pig Feed’ are untrue.
According to the Eastern Regional Manager of FDA Mr Samuel Kwarkye, an investigation conducted revealed wheat bran is mostly used by bread bakers in the country, adding that there was nothing negative recorded so far as the investigation is concerned.
He disclosed this on Nkawkaw based Agoo FM morning show with Kwame Koranteng Friday 13th December 2019. In September this year, Madam Akosua Dwamena was arrested for allegedly using Pig Feed to bake wheat bread at Obomeng in the Kwahu South District of the Eastern Region.
The District Environmental health officer of the area Welbeck Afevia Dzidza told Ebenezer Kojo Nyavor that she was arrested based on intelligence gathered and was immediately handed over to the Mpraeso Police command for interrogation and later granted bail the next day.
Over 25years of experience in bread baking, Madam Akosua Dwamena supplies bread to some schools in Kwahu in large quantities, and also some private and public institutions, investigations conducted by Kasapa News revealed.
When news broke about her alleged practice, the FDA asked Madam Akosua Dwamena to put her baking business on hold until investigation is completed.
Mr Samuel Kwarkye added that the ‘wheat bran’ is good for human consumption and not basically meant for animals. ‘’The wheat bran is not meant only for animals, it is good for human consumption. It is used for making wheat bread, and the fiber is good for us and most people prefer it to the flour. It doesn’t make sense to accuse her of using wheat bran for baking bread so she can go ahead with her usual business.’’ He said
Responding to this on the same platform, Madam Akosua Dwamena who had suspected some people in her neighborhood were behind the baseless allegation wanted to know if such persons will be held responsible for spreading falsehood about her.
According to her, there is no money available to start a new business since she has been living without job for the past three months.

madam Dwamena,file for a compensation and pray the court to task the fda to restore your goodwill not only on this platform but through other means for a number of periods.
This country must compensate the woman. You can't stop someone from doing her work for three months and not give her nothing. Even woyome was compensated for doing nothing. At least one million cedis will do.
Is the FDA aware that nestle is feeding Ghanaians with gluten? This synthetic gluten has been banned worldwide but nestle and other gangsta organizations are feeding Ghanaians with gluten. Milo contain gluten and what is the FDA doing about it?
Why do we enjoy killing ourselves. Why are we always on the watch to destroy and bring people to our level. Ghana WHY WHY WHY? And this is happening every where, corporate institutions, retail businesses, etc... Lets learn to celebrate the success of others. I believe these are the reasons why we are so rich in resources but are worst in taking advantage of them. That also one more reason why people refuse to help others because that same person will come in there and chase you out. Ghana .
Some Ghanaians are always looking for the downfall of another doing well. I'm prepared to give a loan of GHc 20,000 to Madam Dwamena to re lunch her business. Thunder strike anyone who had evil hand orchestrating this evil deed
