The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has called on food manufacturers to demand palm oil with lower levels of potential carcinogens, 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE) and glycidyl esters (GE), from suppliers. The board has suggested that palm oil refineries should ask palm oil mills to supply crude palm oil with lower chloride content to reduce 3-MCPDE in refined palm oil. The MPOB also stated that it enforces high-quality standards throughout the palm oil supply chain and monitors transaction activities to control the export and import of palm oil products. This statement was prompted by reports of acrylamide and glycidol contamination in 60 brands of flour-based confectioneries, including biscuits sold in the Hong Kong market.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 2): The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) said on Tuesday (Nov 2) food manufacturers must demand palm oil containing lower levels of potential carcinogens 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE) and glycidyl esters (GE) from suppliers, so that their food products can be accepted by consumers. A carcinogen is a cancer-causing substance. In a statement, MPOB director-general Dr Ahmad Parveez Ghulam Kadir said palm oil refineries should be firm by requesting palm oil mills to supply crude palm oil (CPO) with lower chloride content to enable palm oil refineries to reduce 3-MCPDE in refined palm oil. "Alternatively, refineries could pay less for CPO with high [chloride levels] as it (the money saved) will [be] used to pay the cost of washing CPO in [the] refinery. "The issues of 3-MCPDE and GE in palm oil will no longer [be] a concern if all parties understand their roles in ensuring palm oil meets high quality and safety standards. "The presence of chloride in ...
