Nearly two months after the FDA ordered a recall over safety concerns, the banned Grand Chateaux Sangria Forte is still being sold.
JoyNews checks reveal pubs, drinking spots, and normal shops continue to stock the unregistered drink.
However, sellers say the shortage of top beer brands has driven demand for Sangria as an alternative.
“Customers purchase the Grand Chateaux Sangria Forte drink — that one and the Coffee Ram moves,” a shop owner shared.

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) on March 19, issued a recall for Grand Chateaux Sangria Forte, specifically the Tetra Pak (250ml) and Canned (330ml Pétillante) variants, citing safety and regulatory concerns.
These products were found on the Ghanaian market and actively promoted on social media despite not being registered with the FDA.
The FDA's promise of stricter enforcement has yet to be seen, highlighting concerns over regulatory compliance.
