In a statement today, Director-General of Health Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, said consumers should study the product label and make it a habit to inspect and smell the packages first before consuming the products to avoid eating harmful and contaminated foods.
“Consumers and the public should exercise their rights in ensuring that the products they purchase are clean and safe,” he said.
He said consumers who have any concerns regarding food safety issues, can contact the state health department or the nearest district health office.
“Consumers can also visit the ministry’s website at http://moh.spab.gov.my or the Food Safety and Quality Division Facebook page at www.facebook.com/bkkmhg if they wish to lodge complaints related to hygiene and food safety,” he added.
