The plaintiffs had filed a writ of summons against Marwako Fast Food on January 19, 2023, for an alleged harm or injury they incurred from eating food purchased from the East Legon branch of the Defendant, Marwako Fast Food. Marwako Fast Food has vehemently disagreed with the court ruling ordering the company to pay in excess of one million Ghana cedis for selling contaminated food to some persons. On Tuesday, July 16, news broke out about the company being ordered by an Accra High Court to pay over one million Ghana cedis in damages to some three siblings who were the plaintiffs in the matter.

The Adentan circuit court in its ruling said it found Marwako guilty of breaching its duty of care and selling food contaminated by pathogens to the plaintiff. Consequently, the court finds that the food items tested from the Defendant’s branch were indeed contaminated with a heavy microbial load (pathogens). However, there is no evidence on record regarding the source of this contamination. “Therefore, the court concludes that the food sold by the Defendant’s East Legon branch to 598 customers, including the 1st Plaintiff, on that day was contaminated with pathogens,” the court documents said.
