However, in a statement, the company has made it clear and assured Malawians that as a law-abiding company, their operations are guided by strict compliance with the laws that govern production and manufacturing processes in this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been producing Kombucha for the past 7 years and in all these years, it has been tested and cleared by the Malawi Bureau of Standards (MBS). We don\u2019t have a record of non-compliance.\u201d reads the statement in part.<\/p>\n<p>On the question of varying alcohol contents, the company underlined that at the point of production, the alcohol content in its product is 0.005 as indicated on the product sticker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, due to varying storage conditions as the product goes to the market, which may result in the continuation of the fermentation process of the product \u2013 the alcohol content may slightly vary from what was at production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeedless to say, the Company has no control over how the product is stored once it leaves its factory premises,\u201d reads the statement in part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a Company, we will continue to tirelessly work with all relevant regulatory institutions in the country to ensure that we continue, as we have done in the past 7 years, to deliver a product that meets the demands and expectations of our customers,\u201d concluded the statement.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have proven that the drink is extremely popular with people with cholesterol and diabetes. Kombucha promotes healthy liver function by removing toxins and destroying free radicals.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the drink is known to have anti-microbial\/anti-fungal properties all while being chemopreventive. Literature shows that Kombucha has been researched in laboratories all over the world from China, India, Serbia, Russia, Germany, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Korea, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>NutriCom is an example of a local company that is adding value to the country\u2019s agricultural produce, an industry that has been lacking for quite some time while maintaining a motto of \u201cKeep Africa Healthy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Nutricom manufactures Kombucha Juice, Ginger Kombucha, Rosemary health juice, and Malambe juice drinks, which are certified by the Malawi Bureau of Standards (MB). Apart from Malawi, Nutricom\u2019s Kombucha is also being manufactured in Zambia and Tanzania.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
