Alhaji Muntaka made the call on Wednesday at the factory launch of "Blue Band Spread for Bread" a new product of Unilever Ghana Limited.
He commended the management of Unilever for the innovation that in addition to providing nutrition for families especially children, the company had created jobs for rural dwellers who cultivate oil palm, the main ingredient for the product.
Mrs Sylvia Acquah, Unilever's Category Manager-Food said the product contained right amounts of six vitamins which included Vitamins A and E needed for the healthy development of children.
She noted that introduction of the product was to meet different consumer needs as well as making margarine accessible to low income consumers.
