The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has closed down 16 food service establishments in the Greater Accra Region for operating without valid Food Hygiene Permits.
The enforcement action comes two weeks after the Authority issued a public notice warning that, effective February 1, 2026, all food vendors and restaurants without the required permits would be shut down.
Among the affected establishments are The Cheesecake House, Dolce Frizzante, Onda and Alora Beach Resort.
According to the FDA, the closures form part of efforts to enforce regulatory standards and ensure compliance with good hygiene practices across the food service industry.
The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to protecting public health and urged all food service providers to regularise their documentation and adhere strictly to food safety regulations.
