Nutrifoods Ghana resumes production and distribution of Tasty Tom following FDA evaluation

Nutrifoods Ghana Limited, a joint venture between Olam and Sanyo, has recommenced production and distribution of Tasty Tom Enriched Tomato Mix after a thorough evaluation by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), which has reaffirmed safety, quality, and compliance.

In August 2025, under the guidance of the FDA, the firm issued a precautionary product recall for certain select batches of the product that did not fully meet our high standards.

According to the company, this responsible measure reflected its deep commitment to consumers and readiness to act decisively to preserve the safety and quality of its products.

“We have collaborated closely with the FDA in a rigorous and constructive evaluation that examined all aspects of our factory operations. Further, in line with the FDA guidance, we have also strengthened our process controls, including extended incubation protocols, to reinforce quality assurance at the highest possible levels”, it said in a statement.

“This review reaffirmed that our production systems and products are fully compliant with the highest standards and regulatory requirements. This reflects our long-standing promise to deliver food made with integrity, safety and our core values of responsibility, transparency, and consumer trust”, it pointed out.

“We are proud that for over a decade, Tasty Tom has been a trusted part of everyday cooking in Ghana. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience, and we are pleased that Tasty Tom products are now available for consumers to enjoy. Tasty Tom — trusted, reaffirmed, and ready to serve”, it added.
