It's not just about exports and imports. Farmers are said to have produce for consumption and for sale. Traceability in food system is not working more so for veg & fruits open markets. @KTNNewsKE @AginaAby @CUTS_Nairobi @CINKenya @Consumers_Kenya @Consumers_Int @FoodSafetyKe

Aby, you should have gotten someone more on the ground. Your penalists, save for Clement, are not in touch with reality. Don't show us pictures of people in posh hotels. Let's go to the grassroots. @KTNNewsKE @FoodSafetyKe @Consumers_Kenya @CUTS_Nairobi @CINKenya @Consumers_Int

Govt. wait for deaths from foodborne diseases to take action on food safety. A breakout of cholera will lead to market cleanups and running after hawkers. Our Govt. is more concerned with revenue and NOT consumer protection. @KTNNewsKE @CUTS_Nairobi @Consumers_Kenya @AginaAby

How does unsafe food get into the market with the regulators in place? Is Govt. doing all it should? Where is food safety information in the daily COVID-19 daily briefs? Why is export market more important than local consumers? @KTNNewsKE @CUTS_Nairobi @Consumers_Kenya

Robert lets not pass the burk. Govt. must not use the theme of this years WFSD to shift responsibility. Consumers look to Govt. to guarantee food safety. Art. 46 in Constitution 2010 very clear. @AginaAby @TranformKenya @KTNNewsKE @CUTS_Nairobi @FoodSafetyKe @CINKenya @Consumers

Aby, we are at our lowest matters food safety coz of COVID-19. Producers are taking advantage to pandemic to unleash unsafe food to consumers as the Govt. is asleep. Let's call a spade a spade. @KTNNewsKE #TransformKenyaSG @AginaAby @CINKenya @CUTS_Nairobi
Food safety focuses on production, handling, storage and preparation of food in a manner that prevents infections and diseases. Every player in the value chain must play their part to ensure food safety. #FoodSafetyKe #FoodSafetyDayKE @CUTS_Nairobi @CINKenya @Consumers_Int
We condemn those taking advantage of COVID-19 pandemic to dispose unsafe food into the market thereby putting the lives of consumers at risk. #FoodSafetyDayKE @Consumers_Kenya @CINKenya @CUTS_Nairobi @Consumers_Int @KTNNewsKE @KBCChannel1 @MOH_Kenya @FredMatiangi @FoodSafetyKe

As we mark the 2nd World Food Safety Day today, it is important to note that contaminated milk is an important conduit of foodborne diseases. All the actors in the dairy value chain have a responsibility to ensure safe milk. #FoodSafetyKE @CINKenya @Consumers_Kenya @CUTS_Nairobi

if some additive in coke has been found to be carcinogenic and withdrawn as a coke ingredient in California, it must be withdrawn worldwide
Milk scarcity in Kenya? That bovine growth hormone used to increase milk production was't good for us. The rivers of milk have disappeared.
