## Scope of this guide

Includes an application note linked to official sources, not a completed regulatory review for every product category.

PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE

## Ghana: product dossier priorities

For Ghana, document cocoa, sugar and milk-component proportions in a cocoa drink mix. Review cocoa emphasis, prepared-product imagery and allergen wording together, and identify the label version supplied by the importer.

## Ghana: review primary and secondary packaging together

Ghana FDA’s general labelling requirements refer to its prepacked-food labelling guidance and address both primary and secondary packaging. Review the information on the individual consumer pack separately from the surrounding carton. For an imported multipack, a readable inner label does not automatically resolve missing or inconsistent information on the outer box. Keep the guidance version, food name, ingredients list and packaging levels in the same review record, while establishing product-registration documents separately.

## How is the label review dossier prepared?

Collect artwork, recipe, allergen evidence and importer details for the same product version. Our working method explains the shared document-preparation and reporting steps.

**Packaging, recipe and evidence in one review dossier.**Knowing which product version a finding concerns matters as much as the correction itself. Maintain file and revision tracking throughout the assignment.

## Sources and research method

Sources are selected research references. An archive record does not confirm current legal effect; national adoption of Codex texts requires separate verification.
