Last year, a post about a bread made from the same company that ‘failed to expire’ set Kenyans questioning the chemicals (namely formalin) the company uses as preservatives. "I didn't expect them to respond to Cofek. They have pocketed all regulatory agencies including the Kenya Bureau of Standards and the Nairobi County Public Health Office. They are arrogant. They bribe senior officers on sight. Cofek should call for consumer boycott of DPL Festive Bread", - complainant The response from the owners was to threaten the social media users who exposed the scam with lawsuit.

The firm also unleashed keyboard mercenaries to bombard Kenyans with messages of how great the bread is, instead of answering simple questions.
In the latest exposé, the firm has not responded to emails from COFEK. The Stephen Mutoro-led body is in possession of videos from inside the factory where ‘a man in seemingly old and worn out dirty shoes was seen mixing the dry flour and other ingredients’.
