Fake alcohol fears grow after viral video of suspected bottling plant
A viral video showing people mixing and bottling counterfeit alcohol in a poorly maintained setting has sparked anger and concern, raising fresh questions about the safety of alcoholic drinks sold in shops, bars and entertainment spots.
The footage shows several unidentified people handling liquids and filling bottles bearing labels resembling those of popular spirit brands at an undisclosed location.
The activity appears to be taking place in an informal and unhygienic setting, far from a professional manufacturing facility.
The video has drawn widespread reaction online, with some Kenyans saying it could explain complaints from consumers who have reported unusual smells, tastes and severe effects after consuming certain spirits.
