The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has warned against two alcoholic beverages—Kings Orange Flavoured Liqueur and Jupiter 1990—after laboratory tests confirmed the presence of marijuana extracts in both products.

In a statement released on Sunday, May 18, the Authority disclosed that the drinks are not registered and are deemed unsafe for public consumption. Investigations have traced their production to FAMUDE Catering Services, an unlicensed operation based in the Ashanti Region.

Following the discovery, the FDA took decisive action to shut down the facility, FAMUDE’s license was revoked, and the matter was referred to the Suntresu District Police for further investigation.

The FDA emphasised its continued collaboration with the Ghana Police Service’s Drug Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU) and the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) to monitor and contain the situation.
