To this effect, KEBS detailed how Kenyans could certify that cooking oils had been approved by the body for consumption.

"One should send the code (numbers) underneath the standardization mark logo to 20023 (i.e. type message SM# Code or ISM#code, for local and imported products respectively, and SMS to 20023) to get product manufacturing details and permit validity status."

In a letter to the Retail Traders Association Chief Executive Wambui Mbarire, KEBS said it took action to protect consumers from using substandard products in the market.
