| Nuteez Peanut Butter |
Government Chemist has warned consumers against a product called Nuteez Peanut Butter whose aflatoxin content exceeds the allowable margin of 10 units by an additional 14.1 units and hence being unfit for human consumption.
It is also instructive that little is known about the firm behind the offending product.
Consumer Federation of Kenya has come out and urged consumers to avoid the product, exercise extreme discretion if they must use the Nuteez Peanut Butter as it could occasion serious health implication.
We urge all supermarkets and other retailers to recall the product from their shelves with immediate effect, a statement from Cofec said.
We have further requested the Kenya Bureau of Standards to conduct further tests on the product as well as other butter products to establish the aflatoxin levels.
The media is further urged to treat this as public service announcement, and ensure the information reaches all consumers as soon as possible.
