Chef Faila disqualified by Guinness World Records after cookathon attempt

The KSS POD

About this episode

Guinness World Records has dismissed a Ghanaian chef’s attempt to break the world record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, her team says.

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

The co-ordinator of 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.”
