Rwanda suspends over 50 alcoholic beverage brands, sparking KEBS pushback

Rwanda’s Food and Drugs Authority has temporarily suspended the importation, distribution and sale of more than 50 alcoholic beverage brands from Kenya and other countries over public health and safety concerns. The move has prompted Kenya’s standards regulator, KEBS, to push back, saying the affected Kenyan brands have met the required safety and quality standards and comply with Kenyan and East African standards.
