The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has blacklisted 27 ugali and uji flour brands, from being sold in shops.
In a statement, KEBS announced that the ban was because the brands have not complied with the set requirements by the standards authority.
"KEBS wishes to notify the public that the below listed maize meal and composite flour brands have not complied with the requirements and therefore should not be sold to the public until further notice and the necessary corrective actions have been undertaken by the concerned parties," read the statement.
12 of the blacklisted are maize meal brands while 15 are composite flour brands.
KEBS called on members of the public to report any of the listed brands if they find them in the market through the toll-free number 1545.
