Firm blames poor handling for dangerous peanut butter

Peanut butter on bread. The Government Chemist has confirmed the presence of aflatoxin, a poisonous substance, in peanut butter brand Nuteez, making it unfit for human consumption.

The Nuteez peanut butter brand, which has been recalled from supermarket shelves for contamination with cancer-causing aflatoxin, is now blaming distribution chains for the problem.

Jetlak Foods Limited, the Ruiru-based manufacturer of Nuteez, through its lawyer Kelvin Mogeni, said the high level of aflatoxin could have resulted from the poor storage of their products.
