Kenya’s standards regulator has suspended the sale of 10 cooking oil products over health and quality concerns.
The Kenya Bureau of Standards says the brands failed routine quality tests and ordered that the brands be withdrawn from shelves immediately.
The standards body however clarified that the directive was not a ban, but a temporary suspension until the manufacturers meet specified quality requirements.
The 10 brands listed are manufactured by Bidco Africa, Pwani Oil Products, Kapa Oil Refineries, and Menengai Oil Refineries - the four largest edible oil companies in Kenya.
