Failatu Abdul-Razak: Ghanaian Chef Fails Guinness World Records Attempt

Guinness World Records has rejected the attempt by Ghanaian chef Failatu Abdul-Razak to break the record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, according to her team.

The celebrated chef seemed to have shattered the world record in January after cooking continuously for more than 227 hours.

Her attempt to break the record “unfortunately fell short of meeting the stringent guidelines set forth by Guinness World Records,” according to Kafui Dey, the coordinator of the challenge.

A statement from the Records Management Team cited a violation of the rest break rules, resulting in an unsuccessful attempt.

The attempt by Ms. Abdul-Razak created a lot of enthusiasm in Ghana. Throughout the cook-a-thon, several celebrities, politicians, Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, and even the Ghanaian military supported her.

Chef Failatu Abdul-Razak acknowledged her followers despite her unsuccessful effort, stating that their “backing has been instrumental throughout this journey”.
