The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) recently seized uncertified roasted nuts, brown sugar, dog food, and animal feeds during a market surveillance crackdown in Karen, Ngong town, and Kiserian, Kajiado County. These products lacked the mandatory Standardisation Mark (SM), indicating they had not undergone essential compliance checks and pose significant health risks to consumers and livestock.

• Crackdown occurred on Friday, July 25, targeting uncertified goods.
• KEBS stated the confiscated goods were found unfit for both human and animal consumption.
• Consumers are urged to verify product authenticity by texting the SM code to 20023 or reporting suspicious products via the toll-free line 1545.
