Chef Failatu violated the rest break rules, her team said on Sunday, resulting in an unsuccesful attempt to beak the record.
“A statement from the Records Management Team cited a violation of the rest break rules, resulting in an unsuccessful attempt,” said Kafui Dey, the team co-ordinator.
Her attempt in January caused widespread excitement across Ghana when she appeared to have broken the record after cooking non-stop for more than 227 hours.
The cook-athon received support from public figures across the country, including politicians, celebrities and even the Ghanaian military.
Chef Abdul-Razak thanked her fans in spite of the setback, stating that she doesn’t take their important role in her path for granted.
Throughout the attempt, Faila received support from several Ghanaian celebrities, including former Black Star footballers Asamoah Gyan and Stephen Appiah. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana’s vice president, announced the attempt on Facebook and donated 30,000
Ghanaian cedis (£1,981) to the chef.
Faila was hoping to break the world record held by Irish chef Alan Fisher, who cooked for 119 hours and 57 minutes.
Last year Nigerian chef Hilda Baci was crowned world cooking marathon record holder in June by the Guinness World Records.
Her reign was short-lived however, with Irish chef Alan Fisher outdoing her by more than 24 hours.
