Earlier this week, the @KEBS_ke (KEBS) announced that it has reduced compliance testing of imports and exports from over 20 to an average of seven days as a result of new laboratory equipment installed at its head quarters five months ago. KEBS made the announcement during the commissioning of the  laboratory equipment which were financed by the @UKinKenya, under the Regional Economic Development for Investment and Trade Programme that is implemented by @TradeMarkAfrica. The equipment has enhanced analytical capability, reduced turnaround time, and supported compliance with local and international standards for food, agricultural and industrial products.

@Maina_Poultry Cia mwanake ticio ciaihūrīte rwagatha? There is/was ndūma cia ihīī aka thuuna.

But Kuna nduma za mwanake original that cooks for hours, they have a stringy texture and that is what was used to be eaten during kiangazi other than cienjo cia marigū. The current nduma ya mwanake in the market is a variety developed due to market dynamics (perishability and flour processing) and exporting from southern and Latin America to north America and European markets. @SpryVoice @ndiritum mlikula nduma Cia mwanake?
