GOVERNMENT SUSPENDS SALE OF NUTEEZ PEANUT BUTTER ONCE AGAIN

In January 2019, the Government Chemist warned consumers against a product called Nuteez Peanut Butter whose afflation content exceeded the allowable margin

The Kenya Bureau of Standards has suspended the sale of Nuteez peanut butter for the second time this year. Also suspended are True nuts, Fressy, Supa meal, Sue’s Naturals, Zesta and Nutty by Nature peanut butter.

In January 2019, the Government Chemist warned consumers against a product called Nuteez Peanut Butter whose afflation content exceeded the allowable margin of 10 units by an additional 14.1 units and hence being unfit for human consumption.

 CONSUMERS WARNED AGAINST NUTEEZ PEANUT BUTTER 

Consumer Federation of Kenya also came out at the time 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. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), the standards regulatory body in Kenya, later lifted an earlier ban on the sale of Nuteez Peanut Butter, produced by Jetlak Foods Limited.
