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:
* Its manufacturer Butter Producers' Co-operative Federation Ltd
(BPCF) addressed as No. 489, Kingsford Smith Drive , Hamilton , Brisbane ,
Australia had ceased operations in September 2006 and was no longer listed
in the website of Australian trade authority being http://www.austrade .
gov.au/. In fact the satellite picture as the website http://maps.
google.com shows that the following site is vacant land.
* Printed on the tin is that the said product is manufactured from
milkfat of dairy cows of Australia and in even smaller and rather unclear
script, it is mentioned that its manufacturer is Q.B.I. Packaging Sdn Bhd,
No. 19, Lorong Keluli 1C, Kawasan Perindustrian Bukit Raja Selatan, 41050
Shah Alam, Selangor DE., Mala ysia and that the said product is
manufactured under license from QBB (Pte.) Ltd., Singapore .
* QBB Pte Ltd.., Singapore was originally the sole agent for "QBB"
Ghee for Mala ysia , Singapore and Brunei and it is not clear whether at
the time when BPCF ceased operations in 2006, the "QBB" trademark rights
were transferred from BPCF to QBB Ptd Ltd., Singapore . We suspect that
Q.B.I. Packaging Sdn Bhd and QBB Ptd Ltd., Singapore are together carrying
an act of piracy i.e. producing and selling a product whose legitimate
manufacturing and sales rights were not transferred to them by its original
manufacturer BPCF who was since wound up.
* The report of an analysis conducted by a reputable food technology
laboratory in Australia on the contents of a 2-lb tin of this product,
where the said tin was taken from Mala ysia to Australia by one of our
group members, mentions the following:-
"This product constitutes of decolorized and deodorized lard (pig fat) in
semi-solid state with permitted additives giving the product color, flavor
and aroma similar to that of pure ghee color, flavor and aroma." (Original
report is with the sender of this letter).
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 Mala ysia , 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.
