Fabrication clandestine de sachets d'eau et de boissons : le ministère lance une alerte sanitaire
The Ministry of Industry and Trade warns against the proliferation of clandestinely manufactured water and beverage sachets, which are increasingly present in certain markets, points of sale and informal distribution channels.
In a statement released on Sunday, July 6, 2026, the ministry warned that these products pose a real risk to public health. According to the ministry, these sachets are produced outside of any regulatory framework. They can be contaminated by bacteria, parasites, or viruses, be packaged and stored in unsanitary conditions, use untreated water or non-compliant raw materials, and lack any traceability.
Authorities stress that their consumption can lead to serious digestive problems, food poisoning, and waterborne diseases such as acute diarrhea, typhoid fever, or cholera, particularly in children, the elderly, and vulnerable people.
They urge consumers to exercise extreme caution and recommend purchasing only sealed, properly labeled products from reputable brands, checking packaging information, and avoiding any product of dubious origin. Citizens are also encouraged to report any suspicious sales outlets or products to the relevant authorities.
Furthermore, the press release reminds us that those involved in the production, storage, packaging or distribution of these products are subject to penalties ranging from seizures and destruction of goods to fines, closures and legal proceedings.
Finally, the ministry announces the strengthening of control operations across the entire territory in order to remove all non-compliant products from the market, reaffirming that the protection of citizens' health remains an absolute priority.
