The issue of food safety is a major concern in the oil palm industry. Consumers today are more knowledgeable and aware of the paramount importance of food safety with regard to food intake. Their demand for safe food is to ensure their food is free from any contamination and is healthy to consume. Palm oil products as one of the raw materials in food must address these food safety challenges. These products must fulfil the food laws, acts, regulations and standards enforced by the authorities at both national and international levels so that they are accepted as food ingredients. It is the responsibility of the Malaysian palm oil industry to ensure that the processes used or applied do not compromise the food safety of the palm oil products. MPOB has a role to monitor and ensure that palm oil products can indeed address these food safety requirements.
