Chinese canned fish safe for consumption
KLANG: The Health Ministry has declared all canned fish products imported from China with malachite green (MG) at two parts per billion (ppb) safe for consumption.
Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek said the ministry's Food Safety and Quality Department had set 2 ppb as the “administrative level,” – an extremely low quantity and safe for consumption.
Furthermore, MG is not listed as a scheduled substance under the Food Act 1983 and Food Regulations 1985 which states that the presence of such substance in food is prohibited.
“The maximum amount allowed by the European Union is 2 ppb, while in Japan it is 5 ppb,” he told reporters after visiting the Day Treatment Complex at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR) Hospital here.
MG is traditionally used in the aquaculture industry to treat fungus and parasites in fishes as it is cheap, easily available and effective. However, its use is restricted to ornamental fishes only. – Bernama
