The Government Analyst- Food & Drugs Department (GA-FDD) has been increasingly intercepting substandard articles of cosmetics, medical devices, and medicines on our local market.
In some cases, articles are either: not manufactured for Guyana’s climatic zone, being marketed at significantly reduced prices, in a foreign language, expired, or would have had their expiry date deliberately removed or do not comply with the regulatory standards.
In a statement, the Government Analyst is advising consumers to exercise caution and to be very alert when purchasing articles on cosmetics, Medical devices, and Medicines during the festive season.
