The Ministry of Health has cautioned Kenyans against consumption of uninspected meat during the festivities.
In an advisory issued on Monday, December 23, the Ministry also encouraged Kenyans to avoid eating meat sources from dead animals given the health risks.
On the other hand, Kenyans were advised to separate raw and cooked food to avoid contamination.
“Avoid eating meat that has not been inspected by certified officers or sourced from dead animals. Keep raw and cooked foods separate to prevent contamination, and use clean, treated, or boiled water for cooking and drinking,” read the advisory in part.
“Wash hands frequently with soap and running water, and ensure all food is cooked thoroughly and served hot. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and reheat them properly before consuming.”
The Ministry also projected increased activities near water bodies during the festive season, further cautioning Kenyans about water safety.
