Exposure One.

In response to this image circulating on social media regarding conversation in a WhatsApp group name LABORET AFFAIRS AND INFORMATION that I'm jealous of one who is advertising a company purporting to redefine maize into flour.

I was raising concerns of health issues to my community to beware of such adverts that misled.

Ask yourself where is the company located?
Who supplies the grains? any farmer...
I'll maintain my message and information as I shared.
Avoid eating processed "maize flour."

They are manufactured from imported cornstarch.

They bleach with chlorine dioxide & Benzyl peroxide that is why it is white.

Ever ask yourself why there are over 40 brands yet maize farmers are lamenting?

Unlearn!
