Kenyan meat risks being locked out of Middle East market

Kenya risks losing its key Middle East meat export market due to unscrupulous traders who forge Kenya Meat Commission stamps to export poor quality meat products that fail the test of food health standards and Islamic dietary guidelines (halal).

Rogue traders have been exploiting Kenya Meat Commission abattoirs to slaughter a few animals, only to get the requisite certification and use it to camouflage meat products from uncertified sources.
