FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY
The general objective of the Food Quality Control Program is
to ensure that food provided to the public meet required standards,
and are safe for human consumption. Activities under this program
include food sampling, inspection and evaluation of food premises, health education,
training and enforcement of legislation pertaining to the manufacture, storage
and distribution of food. A food laboratory has been established in Kuching to
facilitate the testing of food samples to ensure that they comply with the microbiological
and chemical specifications in the Food Regulations, 1985. The Sarawak Health Department
collaborates with several agencies including local authorities, Chemistry Department,
Agriculture Department and Education Department to strengthen its food quality control
activities.
