The Ministry of Health of Malaysia (MOH) would immediately issue a directive to hold, test and release the Indomie Special Chicken Flavour instant noodles products from Malaysia at all entry points of the country.
Despite this scare, the Director-General of the health agency, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, has asked consumers not to fret over the South-Asia countries’ preemptive measures
In a phone conversation with Channels Television Reporter, Professor Adeyeye stated that NAFDAC did not ban Indomie.
She stated that Indomie had been on the government prohibition list for many years to encourage local manufacturing.
She also disclosed that the body has countermeasures to prevent the importation of these products from affected nations.
She added that NAFDAC has several registered local manufacturers of noodles and it is safe. The Taiwan and Malaysia noodles have nothing to do with our local producers.
Professor Adeyeye, however, stated that it was in no way disregarding the reports but is responding to the news as a cautionary post-marketing monitoring measure to ensure that locally-made noodles stay safe.
She also said NAFDAC, will begin random sampling of Indomie noodles, including the seasoning, from the production facilities to ascertain their safety levels for consumption.
