PKFZ ready to open records, facilitate audits amid cooking oil traceability concerns

The Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) has pledged its full cooperation and assistance to relevant authorities in the wake of concerns over the traceability and authenticity of cooking oil products. PKFZ chairman Lim Lip Eng announced that the free zone would make available relevant reports and facilitate any audit requests, in response to allegations that imported cooking oil has been blended with locally produced supplies before being re-exported under Malaysian labels.

Industry players have labeled this practice as an "oil cocktail," raising concerns about product origin, quality, and food safety. This statement from PKFZ follows the concerns raised by Maritime Network Sdn Bhd CEO Datuk Seri R. Jeyenderan, who called for closer scrutiny from authorities and independent laboratory tests to verify the quality and safety of the blended products.
