    "content": "been put in the Standards Act is that all manufacturers should ensure that the products that they put on the shelves have, for example, shelf life. That shelf life is clearly marked in the products that they are going to sell in the market. There is also a requirement in the Standards Act which requires every manufacturer to ensure that they test samples of every batch of production, and keep them just in case there is a recall. This would help the manufacturer know which sample to refer to. That, in essence, is going to enable our consumers consume safe products. The issue of not batching samples and non-requirement of sample sizes being unkept, would make manufacturers not recall any products that are claimed to have not met the standards because they do not know which ones. We have seen recalls in countries where they manufacture vehicles like Volkswagen. They will note that a particular product has an issue and, therefore, needs to be recalled but when it comes to products that are manufactured in Kenya and recalls are required, it becomes difficult because the batching process and sampling had not been done in the first place. It is, indeed, a challenge. Therefore, these amendments are coming to ensure that sampling is done by manufacturers in the correct form."
