Ecofresh Mineral water factory closed down.

Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) on Tuesday closed down the Ecofresh mineral water factory in Bugolobi, Kampala.

The closure, according to UNBS officials was as a result of poor hygiene around the factory, which exposes consumers of the product to risks of diseases.

UNBS manager for quality assurance Martin Imalingat said the water contains eco-line which can cause diarrhoea and cholera.

“This brand (ecofresh) is not safe for human consumption. We have been warning them since last year but they turned a deaf ear,” Imalingat said.
