2 April 2010 Attention: Ms. Tan Poh Hong CEO Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority 5, Maxwell Road Tower Block, MND Complex Singapore 069110 Dear Madam We wish to inform your goodself that for years, our consumer group as many other faithful consumers have been using “QQB” Ghee for various delicacies and religious functions without doubt, with full confidence that the said product is manufactured from the milk of dairy cows by its highly reputable manufacturer based in Queensland, Australia. However, lately, we found that although the colour and aroma had now varied much, the taste seemed to be somewhat different. Therefore, we investigated this matter and concluded the following matters:
Therefore, our consumer group had to boycott the use of this product as:- a) Our muslim members cannot use this product as it is haram by religion b) Our Hindu and Sikh members cannot use this product for burning of ghee lamps, religious functions or for preparing sweetmeats as places of worship which forbid the use of any animal oil/animal fat. c) Our vegetarian friends who only consume vegetarian diet cannot consume the said product. We believe that the “QBB Ghee” sold in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei ever since BPCF closed down, is a product which is violating the related laws on the principle of “misrepresentation of label”. Therefore we hope that your goodself will take the appropriate action to stop the sale of this product. Thanking you.
