The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) of Ghana has clarified its position on the regulation of products with spiritual claims, following public inquiries regarding the ‘kayamata’ men-charming potion.
This clarification came in response to a social media query after influencer Hajia Bintu advertised kayamata, which is promoted as a product capable of charming men and other spiritual enhancements.
Responding to the public’s concerns and queries, the FDA stated on their X account (formerly Twitter), “Per the law, the FDA is not mandated to oversee products that make spiritual claims.” This means that products like kayamata, which are marketed with claims of enhancing personal relationships or attracting partners through purported spiritual means, do not fall under the FDA’s regulatory jurisdiction.

The term ‘kayamata’ refers to a range of products that claim to boost allure, attract partners, or enhance personal relationships through spiritual methods. These products have gained significant popularity on social media, leading to public concerns about their safety and efficacy. However, due to the nature of their claims, the FDA is not responsible for regulating these items.
This clarification highlights the FDA’s regulatory limits and underscores the need for public awareness regarding the types of products that are and are not regulated for safety and efficacy.
