The Guinness World Record has disqualified the longest cooking marathon attempt of Ghanaian Chef, Faila Abdul Razak, for failing to meet the guidelines of the competition.
Chef Faila set out to break the world record for the longest cooking marathon by cooking for 227 hours in a 10-day journey between January 1 and 10 this year.
A statement from Faila’s management team said the Records Management Team cited a violation of the rest break rules, resulting in an unsuccessful attempt. They further acknowledged Chef Faila’s efforts and encouraged future record proposals.
“We commend you for your tremendous efforts with this record attempt. We hope you can still be very proud of what you have achieved,” the Guinness World Records team wrote to her.
