The Ministry further ordered the product to be removed from store shelves as its consumption is deemed risky.
However, despite the warnings by the Ministry, Kenyans have vowed to stand with the product.
The Kenyans are citing the product’s good taste, availability in supermarket shelves and its affordability as the reasons why they might not stop consuming the butter.
