ABSTRACT
Suusa is spontaneously fermented raw camel milk prepared by pastoral women and informally marketed in Kenya. Processors, traders and consumers of suusa rely on organoleptic testing for quality and safety along the suusa value chain. Handling practices in raw milk and suusa products potentially exposes the product to microbial contamination which is associated with reduced shelf life and risk of infections to consumers with milk borne and zoonotic diseases such as brucellosis and tuberculosis. Furthermore, spontaneous fermentation results in a product of inconsistent quality. This study analysed the microbial safety and nutritional quality of suusa along its value chain. Simple random sampling was used to select women group processors, traders and consumers in the value chain. The samples analysed had microbial load increasing significantly (p
