The State has now admitted that 10,000 bags of contaminated sugar was sneaked from Mombasa Port and released into the market last month.

The Egyptian sugar not only had unhealthy levels of moisture but is also laced with “insoluble matter” and aflatoxin that render the products unfit for human consumption.
