Health fears over chemical preservatives in food

On most mornings, the sweet aroma of fried sausages, grilled bacon and sizzling meat patties easily draws one to Lilian Atieno’s kitchen. Once the cooking is done, she will hurriedly stuff the sausages in cylindrical buns, lay the bacon on flat plates and make sandwiches with meat slices or beef brawn.

The sight of these delicacies on her breakfast table is enough to whet appetites and make stomachs growl, especially after a long night’s sleep. But these mouth-watering dishes are not only a preserve of Ms Atieno’s family and guests.
