Unbelievable! See Traders Caught with Milk Containing Mortuary Chemicals (Photo)

It is the end of the road for some traders who
have been selling milk contaminated with
mortuary chemicals to consumers.

 

Four heartless traders who were eager to make
gains have been caught on Wednesday transporting
adulterated milk suspected to have been mixed
with chemicals used in mortuaries and hospitals.

The milk is alleged to have been contaminated
with formalin and hydrogen peroxide. Formalin is a
chemical mostly used in mortuaries to preserve
dead bodies while hydrogen peroxide is used to
clean wounds in hospitals.

Kenyans reports that the four traders were
transporting the milk from Nyandarua to Nakuru
when they were nabbed at Ol Joroorok town,
Kenya.

It was gathered that the traders had used the
chemicals to give the milk a longer shelf life.

While confirming the incident, Nyandarua-West
Deputy Commissioner Were Simiyu said that police
laid an ambush for the suspects ferrying the milk
in a van.

“I caution traders not to be too greedy for money
as to endanger lives of people by putting chemicals
in milk,” said Mr Simiyu.

The milk is suspected to have already been
supplied to nearby towns such as Naivasha and
Limuru.
