Introduction: Beef, sheep and goat meat consumption provides essential nutrients in highly bioavailable form, and poses a zoonotic pathogen threat. In Nairobi, these luxury products are difficult to access by poor households, yet little is known on the city’s food system in terms of food safety a...
Purpose Beef, sheep and goat food systems are thought to be important sources of pathogens in Nairobi. This study aimed to use value chain (VC) analysis to investigate food safety and zoonotic risk practices of these systems. Methods VC analysis is commonly used to assess market structures yet it...
Introduction: Adequate and balanced nutrition is key for poverty reduction, maternal and child health and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Malnutrition, particularly micronutrient deficiencies, can be alleviated with nutrient-dense animal-source foods (1). In Nairobi, Kenya, ...

The study address this gap by identifying and understanding food safety risks practices in the Nairobi pork food system using a value chain appr...
Objective Aflatoxin is known to cross the placental barrier and exposures in utero could influence genomic programming, foetal growth and development, resulting in long-term health effects. We aimed to determine aflatoxin exposure in Gambian women at two stages of pregnancy and during the rainy a...
