Oreo, Hup Seng, Jacob ada cancer causing-Hong Kong Consumer Council

Sambalgorenjawa

The Hong Kong Consumer Council tested 60 pre-packaged biscuits, and all of them were found to contain cancer-causing substances and many had misleading nutrition labels, too.

The biscuits contained the genotoxic carcinogens glycidol or acrylamide or both, which are contaminants produced during processing. These cancer-causing contaminants often emerge when processing certain ingredients, such as palm oil, at high temperatures.

Among the Top 5 biscuits with the most cancer-causing agents were Malaysian favourites such as Hup Seng Special Cream Crackers, Ritz Crackers Cheese Flavoured Sandwich, Jacob’s Original Cream Crackers 93% Wheat Cereal, and Oreo Mini Oreo Original.

Besides that, over 75% (46 products) of tested samples were found to contain 3 kinds of carcinogens (glycidol, 3-MCPD, and acrylamide) at the same time.

Misleading packaging

While legally, food manufacturing companies are allowed a 20% deviation between the actual nutritional value of the product and the stated value on the packaging, many were found to be blatantly lying.

The Hong Kong Consumer Council noted that 38% (23 products) had nutrient labels claiming values of more than 20% of the actual nutritional content of the biscuit. Three of the 60 samples were also exempted from such labelling rules.

Gilly Wong Fung-han, CEO of the Hong Kong Consumer Council, has claimed that such misleading labelling is “not very ideal”.

[size=1.6]Consumers, especially patients who have chronic illness and diabetes, rely on these nutrition labels to purchase the product.

Gilly Wong, CEO of the Hong Kong Consumer Council

“Although we understand that the nutrient contents in products could not be 100 per cent the same as described, the discrepancy should not exceed the regulation.”

She also says that while it is understandable that nutrition contents in products cannot be controlled to follow the packaging 100% as described all the time, there is already regulation in place that allows for such flexibility. Hence, the discrepency should not exceed this regulation.

TRP has reached out to Jacob’s Malaysia and Hup Seng for comments on this issue

Best Ultrasound Scan Centre in KL & Malaysia
Thanks to the founder, Dato Vanessa, who was embarking on trips with her best friend who was expecting at the time, realized that ultrasound centres had facilities and waiting times that were far too long and strenuous.
She soon realised that many others shared similar sentiments as her. The market, especially where parents-to-be, did not address their concerns therefore, they were hoping for a smoother experience in hospitals as part of their pregnancy journey.
Determined to “do something for moms-to-be”, Dato Vanessa wanted to change the perception that ultrasound centers are cumbersome and while also working to improve the overall experience for ultrasound patients.
Having identified this market opportunity, she went on a conquest to transform the ultrasound experience by establishing the brand armed with goodwill and passion— building the largest premium ultrasound centre in Malaysia (6,000 square feet). which is also the first comprehensive ultrasound centre (pre- & post-natal) of its kind in Malaysia.

2D Growth Scan: This is the conventional and most traditional form of scan during pregnancy.

During the growth scan we will take measurements of your baby’s head, tummy and leg.
From this we can determine an approximate weight of your baby and compare measurements
with gestational averages to give you a clear indication of your baby’s progress.

2D detail Scan
2D DETAIL SCAN : This is the most common and traditional type of scan during pregnancy
This produces a black and white image that shows your baby's skeletal make-up and internal organs

3D/4D Scan
3D/4D Scan is a sophisticated method that captures a true, three-dimensional image of your baby,
allowing you to see specific facial features and well-defined formation. Baby will be yellow/tan in colour.

5D Scan
5D Scan is an exciting new technology that allows you to see your baby in a realistic view,
also known as the flesh tone look. This will display the baby in a reddish/pinkish colour,
as if you were viewing the baby inside the womb.

6D Scan
6D Scan uses a virtual light source, a digital flashlight, to highlight the reflection in order
to create a deeper and more refined image; however, it does not emit actual light.
