Ganta, Nimba County – A major discovery was made on Friday, when Commerce Inspector Genera. Miantor Sei Gbatu uncovered several rotten and unwholesome goods at the premises of West Africa Enterprise Inc., Cold Storage Branch and his team observed that a significant quantity of frozen food items, including poultry and fish products #6, located in the bustling commercial city of Ganta. During a routine inspection exercise, Inspector General Gbatu, had deteriorated beyond safe consumption standards.

The goods were stored under poor sanitary conditions, with freezers showing signs of irregular power supply and inadequate temperature control. According to Inspector General Gbatu, the discovery raises serious concerns about consumer health and safety. “The Ministry of Commerce and Industry will not compromise when it comes to protecting the Liberian people.

Any business found selling or storing rotten and unsafe products will face the full weight of the law,” he emphasized. Community residents expressed shock at the revelation, noting that West Africa Enterprise Inc. is a major supplier of frozen foods in Nimba County. Some customers admitted to previously purchasing products from the facility and now fear that they may have unknowingly consumed spoiled goods.

In line with standard procedures, the unwholesome goods were immediately quarantined and marked for disposal to prevent them from entering the local market. The management of West Africa Enterprise Inc., Branch #6, has been summoned to Monrovia to answer questions regarding the violation of trade and public health regulations.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has assured the public that it will intensify monitoring across all cold storage facilities nationwide, particularly in border counties such as Nimba, to safeguard consumers from harmful products. This discovery serves as a strong reminder that businesses engaged in the storage and distribution of food items must maintain the highest standards of hygiene and quality.
