The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has cautioned the public against consuming the carcass of a whale, which was washed onto the shores of Tema in the Greater Accra Region.
The Authority is collaborating with Agencies within the National Food Safety Emergency Response Plan (FoSERP) to address the safety issues.
According to the FDA, the situation has been brought under control and is being monitored to prevent people from having access to the carcass as arrangements are underway to safely dispose the carcass.
“The public is advised to stay away from such fishes that are washed ashore as one may not know the cause of death which may have effect on health,” the FDA said in a public alert notice.
The public is advised to contact the FDA or any of the Food Safety Emergency Response partners if one comes across such an incident, it added.
