Guinness World Records dismisses Ghanian’s chef’s 227-hour cooking attempt.

Guinness World Records has rejected a bid by a Ghanaian chef to break the record for the longest individual cooking marathon, her team has said.

In January, Failatu Abdul-Razak appeared to have broken the world record after cooking non-stop for more than 227 hours.

The coordinator of Ms Abdul-Razak’s challenge, Kafui Dey, on Sunday, said that her attempt at breaking the record “unfortunately fell short of meeting the stringent guidelines set forth by Guinness World Records”.

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

Ms Abdul-Razak’s attempt caused widespread excitement across Ghana.

During the cook-a-thon, Ms Abdul-Razak received support from various politicians, celebrities, and the Ghanaian military, including Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia.

Despite her failed bid, the chef thanked her supporters, saying that their “backing has been instrumental throughout this journey”.
