WHEN A PRODUCT IS RECALLED, STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY.
Not tomorrow.
Not after you finish the bottle.
Immediately.
Some people have been asking whether the alcoholic beverages recalled by @RwandaFDA can still be sold until the remaining stock is finished.
Think about it this way.
If you are eating food and suddenly discover it is contaminated, would you say, “Let me finish it first”?
Of course not.
You would stop eating immediately. In fact, you would probably wish you had never swallowed the first bite.
The same principle applies here.
When Rwanda FDA orders a product to be recalled, the safest decision is to stop consuming it immediately,
✍🏽 even if you already have it at home,
✍🏽 even if it is still on a shelf somewhere, or
✍🏽 even if a shop has not yet been reached by inspectors.
⚠️ A recall is not a suggestion. It is a public health measure.
Some people also ask, “But wasn’t this product licensed?”
Yes. And that is exactly how regulation works.
Issuing a licence is not the end of regulation. It is the beginning of continuous oversight.
As scientific knowledge advances, inspections continue, manufacturing practices change, and new evidence emerges, regulators reassess products and take action whenever they identify risks or non-compliance.
No regulator can stand beside every manufacturer every day.
That is why manufacturers have a responsibility to comply with standards at all times, and regulators have a responsibility to intervene whenever those standards are not met.
As citizens, we also have a responsibility.
Respect recalls.
Follow official guidance.
And make responsible choices.
Remember: Drinking responsibly is not only about avoiding drunkenness.
It is also about protecting our health, making informed choices, and trusting the systems that exist to safeguard the public.

Choose wisely. Protect your health.
