The discovery of excessive levels of aflatoxin in a popular brand of maize flour has prompted the Ministry of Health to take immediate action.
The Ministry has cautioned the public against consuming the contaminated flour and directed county health officers to seize all existing stock from the Kenyan market. This decisive step comes after laboratory analysis on April 30 revealed an alarming concentration of 714 parts per billion (ppb) of aflatoxin in the flour, significantly exceeding the standard safety requirements. Aflatoxin, a naturally occurring toxin produced by certain moulds, is known for its harmful effects on human and animal health.
