The Malaysian Standard, MS 1500 “General Guidelines on the Production, Preparation, Handling and Storage of Halal Food” prescribes the practical guidelines for the food industry on the preparation and handling of halal
food - a basic requirement for food product and food trade or business in Malaysia. Implemented together with related standards - MS 1480 and MS 1514 on food safety and food hygiene - is the reference document for government and industries to produce quality food for the consumers.
In addition to the MS 1500, the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is an internationally recognized system on food safety. The HACCP system, which is science based and systematic, identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. HACCP can be applied throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption and its implementation should be guided by scientific evidence of risks to human health. The application of HACCP systems can aid inspection by regulatory authorities and promote international trade by increasing confidence in food safety. |
