Abstract: The fake infant formula milk recently seized by the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) in Johor has been deemed safe, but did not meet quality standards. Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said lab test results on the sample showed that the milk did not meet the stipulated quality standard in terms of fat content."The ministry, through the Food Safety and Quality Division, is working closely with the ministry. We took the samples of the product to be analysed by the Food Safety and Quality Laboratory and Chemistry Department, to confirm the safety of the product."The analysis showed that the product is safe. However, it did not meet the quality standards stipulated in the Food Regulations 1985 under the Food Act 1983 in terms of its fat content," he said in a statement today.
