Nutrifoods Ghana Limited has resumed production and distribution of its popular Tasty Tom Enriched Tomato Mix after receiving regulatory clearance from the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA).

The clearance, granted on September 12, 2025, followed a comprehensive evaluation of the company’s manufacturing processes, which confirmed the safety, quality, and regulatory compliance of its products.

In August, the company voluntarily recalled select batches of Tasty Tom as a precautionary measure, after some units failed to meet internal quality benchmarks. Nutrifoods said the move reflected its strong commitment to consumer safety.

Following the recall, the company worked closely with the FDA to conduct a full-scale review of its operations. As part of the process, Nutrifoods enhanced its quality assurance protocols, including tighter process controls and extended incubation procedures.

“This review reaffirmed that our production systems and products are fully compliant with the highest standards and regulatory requirements,” the company said in a statement.

Nutrifoods also apologised to consumers for any inconvenience caused and thanked them for their continued trust. The company confirmed that Tasty Tom is now fully back on the market.

A household staple in Ghana for over a decade, Tasty Tom is one of Nutrifoods' flagship products. The company, a joint venture between Olam International and Sanyo Foods, operates two major facilities in Tema, producing both culinary products and biscuits for local and export markets.

Its portfolio includes products such as Jollof Mix, Pepper & Onion Mix, and a range of biscuits including Perk, Nutrisnax, and Royal King Cracker. Nutrifoods is also recognised as the first biscuit manufacturer in West Africa to achieve Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification under the FSSC 22000 standard.
