Nimeona bandiko sio mahindi pekee.... Hata peanut butter....Kenya wamefungia aina tano za unga wa mahindi maarufu kama Unga wa Ugali uliogundulika kuwa na kemikali za sumu zinazotokana na Afloxacin zinahusishwa na uletaji wa magonjwa hatari kama kansa kwa binadamu endapo atatumia unga wa ugali kwa matumizi ya chakula.
Hapa kwetu wajasiriamali wengi wananunua mahindi na kusaga na ku-pack kwenye viloba tayari kwa kuuza. Ukiingia ukanda wa Mlandizi, Kibaha small private milling zimesheheni. Je, kote huku TBS wanafika? Inspection yao ikoje pia kwenye soko ambako walaji tunanunua unga na kwenda kuutumia?
Chonde chonde, toeni tamko ikiwezekana inspection na verification ipanuke zaidi Tanzania nzima.
....... DANGEROUS LEVELS
It shows how Kenyans have for decades been exposed to dangerous levels of aflatoxins in maize and maize products, and links some cancer ailments in various parts of the country to this abetting of a wrong by State agencies. Other contaminated foods include meat and meat products, and peanuts.
Last week Kebs suspended seven peanut butter brands and instructed the manufacturers to discontinue production and recall stocks that had already been supplied for sale. The seven were True Nuts, Fressy, Supa Meal, Nuteez, Sue's Naturals, Zesta, and Nutty by Nature. Aflatoxins are produced by fungi and grow on grains that are not dried or stored in proper conditions. They thrive in warm and moist conditions.
When one consumes food contaminated with the fungi, the aflatoxin is incorporated into the DNA to form complexes that colonise the liver, leading to the development of mutations that later manifest as cancer.......
