Aromat is safe for use, court hears

The debate on whether Aromat is safe for human consumption has continued to rage. Yesterday, the High Court heard that no one has complained of any negative Aromat effect on human or environment for the 13 years the product has been on sale in the country.

In a response to the application by the National Bio-Safety Authority that sought to have the product taken out from the supermarkets and its importation stopped, Unilever Company Secretary Inviolata Oriwo told High Court Judge Isaac Lenaola that no cases have been reported to the company or any authority relating to Aromat’s effect to humans or nature.
