KKM akan periksa kilang roti selepas dakwaan keracunan makanan

Health Minister will conduct an investigation into a roti factory in Shah Alam following a social media claim of food poisoning. The Ministry stated it is awaiting the results of laboratory analysis on the implicated product and will inspect the factory to ensure compliance with the Food Act. Appropriate enforcement action will be taken if evidence of a breach or food safety risk is found, the statement said.

The Ministry clarified its contacts with Gardenia Bakeries (KL) Sdn Bhd regarding the food poisoning allegation. According to the company, its investigation did not find any deviations in the production process, recipe changes, or non-compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and food safety controls for the implicated products.

Some products have been taken for laboratory analysis. Gardenia Bakery confirmed in a statement that its personnel have identified affected customers and collected samples of the concerned bread for testing. Government agencies are investigating the relevant information, records of production, and quality control to ascertain the facts and determine subsequent action.

The Ministry also assured consumers that no changes have been made to the recipe or formulation of its products, and the established food safety and quality control procedures continue to be implemented. Gardenia Bakery said it is committed to cooperating with KKM in its investigation. Earlier, a Threads user alleged that their child fell ill after consuming roti from the company's bakery.
