Both cans are genuine - Malta Guinness

Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited (GGBL) has responded to a viral post on Facebook questioning the authenticity of its popular beverage, Malta Guinness. According to the beverage manufacturers, both cans are genuine and the difference in branding is because they were produced in Nigeria and Togo respectively.

Several Facebook users had tagged the company in posts regarding the authenticity of the cans, questioning whether they were consuming the right product. 

However, GGBL says there is no cause for alarm as both products are safe to drink.

Below is the entire statement from GGBL
