Heartless Tainted Food and Daily Products in Malaysia!!

Tainted food in China have been an issue for sometimes and as we all know the seriousness of the damage been done. From the most "famous" poison baby milk to sewage cooking oil, rotten meat, hair made soy sauce and many others unimaginable food and products. Just because of maximizing the profit, people can be so heartless to make tainted poison foods and products. Some of the photos taken from China about the factory or place that produce those things really make me sick. I feel lucky because Malaysia do not have that kind of bad stuff besides bed and pillow cases which happened before. Unfortunately that is over, and now tainted food and other products were found! Few days ago the headlines from newspapers about "bungalow" situated in Gombak was producing those tainted products have been discover. Selangor Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Department enforcement officers took action based on report from synonymous about people collecting large amount of expired food and products. According from the officer, more than 4000 tainted items have been found in the bungalow. The syndicate actually wash and repack the expired products and foods, then sell it out again to the public. Two of the workers from the scene, a 50-year-old Malaysian women and a 34-year-old Indonesian had been caught.

Now we really need to double and triple check on the goods in the market to ensure it is save to consume. Lets us all hope we will not be one of the victim... Here the quoted news from The Star Online and China Press.

收逾期品．洗了再賣 黑心風吹來馬

（鵝嘜11日訊）本地黑心集團大量回收逾期食用品后，“再循環”推出市場銷售！

為了瞞過執法單位的法眼，這個黑心集團更把“再循環”工廠設在豪宅內，聘請本地婦孺和印尼外勞，從垃圾桶、垃圾槽、雜貨店和工廠等地方大量收取過期和被丟棄的食用品。

起4000件逾期產品

黑心集團接著在豪宅內把逾期產品清洗乾淨，塗掉產品上的有效使用期，或撕掉包裝紙后，以比市面上更為低廉的價錢，重新轉售給代理或推出市場銷售。

被黑心集團“再循環”銷售的產品包括牛奶、飲料、煉奶、可可粉、牙膏、罐頭食品、冰棒、沐浴露、潤膚霜、衛生棉和紙尿片等。

來自雪州的貿消部執法組，昨晚10時15分突擊一間位于鵝嘜路10英哩甘榜雙溪沙叻的雙層獨立式豪宅時，揭發此案。

貿消部執法組主任奧曼在現場召開記者會說，當局是接獲有人大量回收逾期產品的情報后，展開追查，最終在監視該豪宅1週后，于昨晚由他親自率領10官員展開行動。

他說，當局在豪宅內共起獲超過4000件各類逾期產品，這些產品的原本市價逾3萬令吉，但因為已逾期，所以已一文不值。

“黑心集團卻利用這些產品，清洗乾淨后，甚至沒有重新包裝，就推出市場銷售，危害人間。”

他說，當局也發現他們連在垃圾桶找到那些不但已逾期，甚至已包裝已毀損的產品，也拿來“再循環”售賣。

奧曼說，當局目前援引1972年貿消法令調查此案。

再循環產品逾期3年

逾期產品“再循環”工廠操作已有一段時間，貿消部將追查及回收已流入市面的“再循環”產品！

奧曼說，這個集團的活躍地區是在鵝嘜，所以當局將派出官員，嚴密監視及追查市面上的產品，並追查黑心集團的幕后主腦以及代理網絡，全面充公或回收已流入市面的“再循環”產品。

他說，兩名被當局逮捕的50歲本地女子和34歲印尼籍女子，將成為當局緝拿黑心集團幕后主腦的關鍵人物。

另外，他也呼籲消費者在購物時，務必檢查商品的有效日期，切莫購買那些曾經被塗改過或有缺陷的產品。
