RM200,000 in cooking oil seized in Sandakan
KOTA KINABALU: Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) officials seized almost RM200,000 worth of cooking oil from a jetty in Sandakan yesterday.
Believed to be meant for export, the oil, packed in 4,500 boxes, was seized from a boat.

Also seized were a boat and several documents to facilitate investigations, he said in a statement.
The case is being investigated under the Supply Control Act 1961.
Opening up a can of worms
PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry has issued an order to pull TL Tan Lung, TLC, Cinta, Sea Fresh and HS Brand’s canned sardines from the shelves following the discovery of worms that could cause anisakiasis disease in the samples checked.
Similarly, King Cup, Bintang and TC Boy’s canned mackerel in tomato sauce also have to be recalled for having the same Filum Nematoda worms from the genus Anisakis spp.
“The health risk is actually pretty low because the worms are already dead due to the cooking or canning process,” Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said.
His statement came after the Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services (MAQIS) found worms in samples of canned sardines from China in two containers which entered Malaysia through the North Butterworth Container Terminal in Penang on May 14.
MAQIS director-general Datuk Mokhtaruddin Husain said the anisakiasis disease occurs when humans eat seafood infected with the Anisakis spp parasite.
The worms attack the gastrointestinal system such as the stomach of humans and can cause gastrointestinal problems.
