Malaysia poultry supply and hygiene investigations

Overview

Malaysian authorities have initiated several enforcement actions regarding poultry supply and food safety. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) began inspections to monitor compliance with festive season price schemes and investigated poultry distributed from a Selangor facility that allegedly lacked halal certification and exhibited poor hygiene.

Subsequent reports highlighted further regulatory concerns. In Kuala Lumpur, a business faced allegations of extreme hygiene violations after social media footage appeared to show rats gnawing on raw chicken stored in water tanks. Additionally, in Kelantan, authorities conducted a raid on a frozen chicken wholesaler, where a suspect was allegedly involved in the smuggling of over 2,500 kg of chicken from Thailand without valid business documentation or licenses.
