Melam1ne : List from MOH

Do check on daily basis from Fo0d Safety & Quality Division of M0H for list of items not in compliance with melam1ne level allowed.

The document is very helpful because they provided the picture coz we hardly catch the name of certain items but rely more on the packaging.

As of today, here is the list (Not in compliance items only)

But, I have some reservation on the method used by M0H as most of the item tested are based on reports by other countries. Meaning they will only test items which are reported as not compliance by other countries or based on SMSes that were flying around. Why can't they test all possible items, start with the most popular 1st and gradually move to cover the whole range. Throughout the time, the test should not be stopped at melamine but for other dangerous substance as well, they know better la kan. Not to underestimate the effort of the people at their labs who I'm sure are working day and night but maybe it should be more systematic and continuously enhanced. Don't do it the malaysian-way, masa org kecoh kita pon kecoh havoc, pastu..senyap, nanti jadi lagi...

And I think most of the baby formula were not tested locally but cleared because of the warranty provided by the companies. Is that enuff ?

It scared the sh*it out of me when they announced that Hanis' fav rusk, Baby B1tes and my favorite gula-gula udang merah (with edible paper tuh) will be tested. Luckily, it came out clean. fuhh...she gobbled down that stuffs like a kebulur kid when she was a toddler. Tonnes of it

BTW , I love Kh0ng Guan's Cream Chocolate biscuit when I was in boarding school arrgh should go n check my kidney as it's not in compliance.

For those yang beli biskut timbang from hypermarts, stop the buying ye coz I'm pretty sure it's from KG.
