KUALA LUMPUR, (MLP) - Nestle Malaysia started a campaign to help consumers identify counterfeits of its iconic Milo drink today.
This took place after the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry busted counterfeiters in Negeri Sembilan. The food manufacturer has released a statement via itsFacebook page earlier today:
"Dear fans, Nestlé Malaysia has been alerted that the authorities have found counterfeit versions of MILO packaging and MILO powder being produced in Negeri Sembilan. Please be assured that we are working very closely with the relevant authorities especially the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism to ultimately curb this matter as the safety and quality of our products is a non-negotiable priority of Nestlé.
Nestlé takes this issue very seriously as counterfeiting of products is an illegal activity that deliberately misleads the public. If you believe you have purchased counterfeit MILO or have any enquiries with regards to this matter, please contact our Consumer Service Centre at 1800-88-3433."
The Malay Mail reported that State chief enforcer Saifulbahri Abdul Kadir told the media the case will be investigated under Section 8 of the Trade Descriptions Act 2011.
Other items seized were 1,000 empty boxes, 50,000 empty plastic packs, a printer, a weighing machine and a numbering printer.
During the raid, six immigrants from Myanmar and Indonesia were also arrested.
