Kenyans are still in shock after Dennis Okari's scary investigative dubbed Red Alert.

Dennis Okari highlighted how supermarkets are using Sodium Metabisulfite chemical as a preservative on fresh meat.

A man working at a local supermarket narrated how they use the chemical to preserve meat. He told Okari that they are trained on how to do it and they always wear gloves when mixing meat with the chemical,

The chemical can be corrosive to the skin and irritating to the eye so we have to cover ourselves,' he said. Adding, The meat shouldn’t get spoiled in the supermarket. We try to minimize losses by putting the chemical on minced meat and diced beef.

The source further explained that they repackage meat with labels changed to reflect new expiration dates every morning before the supermarket is opened for customers.

In the morning we have what we call ‘production time.’ This is when we take the meat that has stayed overnight at the display and we repackage.

The chemicals are purchased at certain shops in industrial at specific times by people well known to the suppliers.

The chemical is also used to preserve chips to look fresh and attract customers.

DJ Soxxy After today's expose, stand by for an operation this week by Gvt agencies. Always react and playing catchup while I am sure they knew this was happening. #REDALERT

Janet Machuka Just go ahead and buy bananas with dots. The ones with no spots and super clean might not be healthy. But who will tell you this is safe and not that when not all of us are doctors 😅#RedAlert

Bravin When I said don't buy meat from a butcher that doesn't have flies, I was told am insane. That lack of flies is evidence for good hygiene. Are you seeing what is happening on #RedAlert?

Bernard Korir The DCI and the ODPP should take up from where NTV and @denisokari has reached. This is inhuman and  should be punished

Yvonne People are so inhuman, Kenyans have turned into monsters, risking other people's life's for money, people no longer fear God. May God bless that man abundantly for saving our lives. Kenyans you should love each other.
