Unsafe Food Supply Chain in Kenya Puts Public Health at Risk
This article discusses how different groups in Kenya work together to ensure that food is safe and of good quality from the farm to your plate. The Department of Public Health oversees this process, enforcing laws like the Food, Drugs and Substances Act. Many food-related illnesses still happen in Kenya due to poor hygiene in the informal food industry. Farmers, sellers, and manufacturers all have to follow specific guidelines to keep food safe. The Kenya Bureau of Standards plays a key role in making sure these standards are met. Despite these efforts, some processed foods in Kenya are still not up to standard. It's important to monitor the informal food sector closely to make sure they follow the rules.
