There is News on 6 December 2019 stating products of "banana milk" was labelled with mis-leading information and had been advertised at electronic media, printing media, sosial media, catalogue and so on.
The product is declared as help to reduce high blood pressure, detoxification. increase metabolism, control insulin production and the oxygen movement, reduce obesity etc etc. looking into this, the Ministry of Health of Malaysia is taking action against the producer as it is against the 1983 Food Act.
Do take note that they are regulations on declaration about the products. There are wordings or sentences that can be used with some conditions.
There are also some sentences cannot be used. Basically, declaration should be "as where it is", not overclaimed, and mis-leading.
The best practice is, before you are distributing your own product to the market, do study the labeling part of 1983 Food Act and 1985 Food Regulations and consult Health Department officers for confirmation, then to print the label and stick on the product.
Hopefully this information is beneficial to the food processors.
