Following the public outburst over the content of some of Nestle Ghana’s milk products, the leading consumables manufacturer has decided to take all its Ideal evaporated milk and Carnation tea creamer off the shelves temporarily.

According to a press statement released by the company, this move is part of efforts towards ensuring customers get the quality they deserve.

The statement further added that it was still carrying out the recall process to ensure all the faulty products are off the market.

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) had earlier directed Nestle Ghana Limited to initiate processes to recall some of its defective batches of tin milk on the market.

Some consumers complained of coagulation of Ideal and Carnation milk products on the market.

The FDA had explained that, although the milk after laboratory analysis was found to be not harmful, it still directed Nestle to recall the products.

As of the 9th of January, the FDA stated that almost 60,000 cans of the faulty products have already been retrieved by the manufacturer.
