The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has seized over 52 tons of substandard sugar.
According to the KEBS managing director Esther Ngari, the sugar was seized from over 300 outlets in the country, on its way to the Kenyan market.
She told the Trade Committee chaired by James Gakuya that the consignment is currently undergoing tests and awaiting destruction.
“This is what we have considered as potentially unsafe, so it has been seized, isolated and the decision to destroy will be made once testing is complete,” Ngari said.
