While assembling the quantity of confiscated items at the local government’s premise, the committee identified that some of the beverages were poisonous and harmful to be used with local juice-beverage instead of being by the advanced manufacturing factories that are advanced in mixtures sort of recommended level from the factory.

“Our inspection team managed to seize these numbers of juicy items from traders who have local beverage sale-shop within Aweil town market, among the ingredients confiscated were Kamena [a liquid mixture essence] used for juices, oranges, Strawberry, Lemon, guava, apple beverages all in powder form,” John Majok Deng, Senior Health Inspector at Aweil Municipal Locality told journalists during the showcasing of the confiscated items in Aweil town.

Nzip Mohamed Ahmed, one of the owners, rebutted the claims that his properties were poisonous saying the stuff useful enough to be used as the ingredients for diluting the juicy drinks in their cocktail tonic.

“These food stuffs are not expired nor they are harmful for consumption but it is because some of us here are not technical to understand the process for the usage. How can one be doing these to the customers whom you opened a business for?” Mohammed refuted the allegations.
