Despite her remarkable feat of cooking non-stop for over 227 hours in January 2024, which sparked excitement online and offline, Guinness World Records (GWR) cited a “violation of the stringent guidelines set forth” as the reason for the rejection.
Kafui Dey, the coordinator of Failatu’s team, confirmed the rejection on Sunday, as a GWR spokesperson acknowledged her effort while explaining, “We commend Failatu on her tremendous efforts with this record attempt…It was due to guidelines around rest break timings not being met.”
Failatu’s attempt had garnered significant attention throughout Ghana and across Africa, with politicians, including Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, and celebrities rallying in support of the chef throughout the cook-a-thon.
