On July 2, 2020, a controversy erupted on social media following the release of a snippet from an online cooking show hosted by former Capital FM presenter Anita Nderu.
The show, titled 'The Overdressed Cook,' features Anita Nderu and two other guests cooking while discussing sex. A product of Pwani Oil, Fresh Fri cooking oil, is prominently displayed on the kitchen counter.
However, Pwani Oil has since distanced itself from the show, stating that they had not engaged Anita Nderu for any advertising of their product on her show.
“Fresh Fri would like to state that we have not engaged Anita Nderu for product placement or any other advertising of any kind. However, we would like to thank her for being a Fresh Fri consumer. Fresh Fri is keen on delivering quality products that promote #HealthyLiving,” tweeted @PwaniLifeKe.
It is worth noting that Anita Nderu had shared the promo of the show on her Instagram, describing it as one of her most fun episodes and expressing her support for the LGBTQ+ community.
