KUALA BERANG (Bernama): A frozen meat importing firm believed to be behind an illegal meat cartel will be charged in court soon, says Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid.

Speaking to reporters after officiating the Food Bank Malaysia programme in Kampung Lubuk Periuk here, on Thursday , he said the investigation paper on the company located in Johor Bahru was almost complete, as the ministry had obtained the meat analysis results from the Chemistry Department on Monday .

He said the company was believed to have repackaged imported meat by imitating the logos of Malaysia's leading frozen meat distributors as well as placing an uncertified 'Halal’ logo of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department on them. Meanwhile, Rosol said the ministry had proposed the use of a QR code system on imported food items, including meat, at all the country's entry points to make things easier and more efficient for the authorities.

Meanwhile, Johor police chief Comm Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the state's police had so far received 15 reports in connection to the illegal meat cartel, including from government agencies and political parties.
