The Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek) has filed a lawsuit alleging that the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) have failed to prevent the sale of fake and adulterated rice as authentic Kenyan Pishori.

• Cofek is suing for the government's inaction against the widespread mislabeling and blending of imported rice with genuine Kenyan Pishori.
• The lawsuit was initiated following a complaint by the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM), who highlighted the detrimental impact on the local rice industry.
• Cofek is demanding that KEBS conduct nationwide market surveillance, identify adulterated rice, and remove it from the market, alongside public disclosure of its findings.
