CAP gesa tarik balik minyak sapi QBB
KUALA LUMPUR 23 Ogos - Persatuan Pengguna Pulau Pinang (CAP) menggesa Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan supaya segera menarik balik penjualan minyak sapi QBB di pasaran.
Presidennya, SM Mohamed Idris berkata, ia berikutan tindakan Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) yang menarik balik status halal minyak sapi itu kerana didakwa mengandungi elemen yang meragukan.
"CAP telah berhubung dengan Jakim bagi mendapatkan kesahihan status halal minyak sapi itu sejak Julai lalu.
"Jakim menjelaskan bahawa mereka telah menarik balik status halal minyak sapi itu sehingga yakin dengan status halal produk tersebut," katanya dalam kenyataan akhbar di sini, hari ini.
Menurut beliau, Jakim dan Jabatan Kimia telah menguji minyak sapi itu dan mendapati ia mengandungi elemen yang meragukan dan tidak boleh dimakan oleh umat Islam.
Sehubungan itu, beliau menggesa orang ramai supaya menghentikan segera pengambilan minyak sapi itu sehingga kandungannya disahkan halal oleh Jakim.
Sementara itu, Jakim menerusi laman web www.halal.gov, turut mengumumkan pihaknya telah menggantung Sijil Pengesahan Halal Malaysia kepada Syarikat QBI Packaging Sdn. Bhd. berkuat kuasa 19 Ogos lalu.
"Tindakan itu diambil sehingga Jakim berpuas hati status halal produk berkenaan. Oleh itu, QBI Packaging Sdn. Bhd. dilarang menggunakan logo halal Malaysia pada semua produk minyak sapi QBB," katanya

Dear Madam
We wish to inform your goodself that for years, our consumer group as many other faithful consumers have been using “QQB” Ghee for various delicacies and religious functions without doubt, with full confidence that the said product is manufactured from the milk of dairy cows by its highly reputable manufacturer based in Queensland, Australia.
However, lately, we found that although the colour and aroma had now varied much, the taste seemed to be somewhat different. Therefore, we investigated this matter and concluded the following matters:
· Its manufacturer Butter Producers’ Co-operative Federation Ltd (BPCF) addressed as No. 489, Kingsford Smith Drive, Hamilton, Brisbane, Australia had ceased operations in September 2006 and was no longer listed in the website of Australian trade authority being http://www.austrade/ . gov.au/ . In fact the satellite picture as the website http://maps/. google.com shows that the following site is vacant land.
· Printed on the tin is that the said product is manufactured from milkfat of dairy cows of Australia and in even smaller and rather unclear script, it is mentioned that its manufacturer is Q.B.I. Packaging Sdn Bhd, No. 19, Lorong Keluli 1C, Kawasan Perindustrian Bukit Raja Selatan, 41050 Shah Alam, Selangor DE., Malaysia and that the said product is manufactured under license from QBB (Pte.) Ltd., Singapore.
· QBB Pte Ltd.., Singapore was originally the sole agent for “QBB” Ghee for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei and it is not clear whether at the time when BPCF ceased operations in 2006, the “QBB” trademark rights were transferred from BPCF to QBB Ptd Ltd., Singapore. We suspect that Q.B.I. Packaging Sdn Bhd and QBB Ptd Ltd., Singapore are together carrying an act of piracy i.e. producing and selling a product whose legitimate manufacturing and sales rights were not transferred to them by its original manufacturer BPCF who was since wound up.
· The report of an analysis conducted by a reputable food technology laboratory in Australia on the contents of a 2-lb tin of this product, where the said tin was taken from Malaysia to Australia by one of our group members, mentions the following:-
“This product constitutes of decolorized and deodorized lard (pig fat) in semi-solid state with permitted additives giving the product color, flavor and aroma similar to that of pure ghee color, flavor and aroma.” (Original report is with the sender of this letter).
Therefore, our consumer group had to boycott the use of this product as:-
a) Our muslim members cannot use this product as it is haram by religion
b) Our Hindu and Sikh members cannot use this product for burning of ghee lamps, religious functions or for preparing sweetmeats as places of worship which forbid the use of any animal oil/animal fat.
c) Our vegetarian friends who only consume vegetarian diet cannot consume the said product.
We believe that the “QBB Ghee” sold in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei ever since BPCF closed down, is a product which is violating the related laws on the principle of “misrepresentation of label”. Therefore we hope that your goodself will take the appropriate action to stop the sale of this product.
Thanking you.
