In the year 2022:
The Committee on Trade, Tourism and Industry has directed (UNBS) Uganda National Bureau of Standards to withdraw their distinctive marks on all the energy drinks which have violated standards.
According to the findings, four of the non-alcoholic drinks sampled in the market contained alcohol.
These include, Kituzi (1.1 per cent), Power bank (4.4 per cent), Sabarara extra (10.3 per cent) and Entare sana (6 per cent).
Similarly, some alcoholic kombuchas like Kabody coffee had 20 per cent alcohol levels which exceeds the recommended 15 per cent for alcoholic kombuchas.

“It is very dangerous to take a non-alcoholic drink thinking it doesn’t contain alcohol whereas it does.
Imagine, our children, pregnant mothers, pastors, Muslims and other non-alcoholic persons have been consuming these products,” Mpaka said.
“So we have been consuming soft drinks yet they contain alcohol?
Whom do I sue for this? It is now clear that we need to test all these drinks on the market.
We cannot accept Ugandans to die because they are being misled to consume what they are not supposed to,” Mbwatekamwa said.
MP Michael Timuzigu (NRM, Kajara County) blamed UNBS for ‘sleeping’ on the job and allowing these companies to continue producing products that could be harmful to the consumers.
“It will be shameful for us to close these factories yet the agency that is supposed to regulate them is here.
Let us give UNBS two months to rectify and check these factories to ensure compliance,” Timuzigu said.
