Police said the four traders were arrested at Ol joroorok transporting the milk from Nyandarua to Nakuru.

The milk was reportedly mixed with Hydrogen Peroxide and formalin. The two are used in hospitals with the latter being used in mortuaries to preserve bodies.

Nyandarua-West Deputy Commissioner Were Simiyu cautioned milk consumers in Nakuru to be wary of the rogue traders.

“I caution traders not to be too greedy for money as to endanger lives of people by putting chemicals in milk,” the commissioner said.

Consumption of milk contaminated with the two chemicals is dangerous to the body.
