KEBS ADMITTS KISUMU EQUATOR BOTTLERS FEEDS ITS CONSUMERS WITH HEALTH HARZARD DRINKS.
By Shem Kosse
It’s now official that Kisumu Equator Bottlers is making, bottling and distributing substandard soft drinks containing foreign matters, thus putting at a risk millions of lives of its consumers, confirms the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS).
One such drinks “FANTA CRANGE” 300 batch No.PRRJOLO9002 was purchased by one Clement Boniphas Odongo on 28th July 2009 for consumption only to realize it contained visible impurities which he later took to the company only to be met by arrogance from the company’ top management who were ready to offer him a token of five creates of soda as a compensation gesture, a move that he flatly declined.
And he further decided to seek for KEBSofficial intervention. The sample was subjected to a test and it failed to comply with the requirements of the KBS standards as it was established it had presence of foreign particles.
This was indicated in the KBS test results certificate No.KEBS/TES/277/C/K/2OO9 and Laboratory Test Report Certificate No.KEBS/TES/277/C/K2009 signed by the Regional manager, Lake region P.N Ndungu on 3rd and Managing Director M.M Nyakiamo, on 4th respectively.
The Kisumu Equator Bottlers relevant authorities in charge of quality products in the company when contacted over the matter promised to link up later, but in vain till the time of going to the press. The consumers have urged the KEBS to crack the whip to save peoples lives from these health hazards drinks.

it worries that such a company with such a big name can do that.KEBS should become tough on them to save kenyans.KEBS official should suspend their licenses until they comply with the required standards.
How sure is KEBS that the foreign objects were not introduced in the contents of the Fanta bottle by C. B. Odongo himself. Kisumu equator Bottlers should check his background. were there any other bottles found with contaminants from the batch as the particular bottle.
Serious precaution should be taken against people who would love to drag company’s name to the mud.such a simple accusation could lead to the company fading its reputation and even losing its market share.Be warned with your dirty tricks for fetching money lets company resent on you.
