Dear colleagues,

Following the Food sampling training, Kenya recently undertook the first food sampling exercise, with the first batch of foods being sampled and currently in the laboratory for analysis.

Please see details and some photos from the field activity below.


Thanks and best regards,

NATIONAL FOOD SAMPLING ACTIVITY - KENYA FOOD COMPOSITION TABLES

Following the Food samplers training workshop (8-12 August 2016), the first round of the Food sampling activity started yesterday Monday 22nd August and is continuing today, 23rd August 2016.

The Food sampling exercising is taking place in  open air food markets and supermarkets in the following 10 counties: Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisii, Kakamega, Marsabit, Nyeri, Embu, Trans Nzoia, Machakos, Nakuru.

The foods are being delivered to the National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL) at Kenyatta National Hospital, from where they are airlifted to SGS laboratory in Mombasa for nutrient analysis. The first batch of foods sampled yesterday arrived in the Mombasa laboratory today Morning.

This activity is funded through the FAO Kenya TCP - Food Composition Tables (TCP/KEN/3503).

See photos of the food sampling exercise from different counties:

Dear all,
Kenya is ready to do food sampling for the development of the Kenyan food composition table (KFCT). I think it is a wonderful show case of a successful collaboration within a country (FAO, ministries, universities, academia, nutrition and agriculture, and private sector) as well as between FAO HQ and a country office.

Most laboratory results are expected in 2016 and the KFCT launch in 2017.

Many thanks to all involved. Really great job.

It would probably be nice to share similar success stories. You might remember we will have another award for success stories in 2017 at the 12th IFDC. I am looking forward to see more of such examples shared through the INFOODS listserv.

Best wishes
Ruth
