An opposition MP has questioned the safety of National Feedlot Corporation’s (NFC) beef supply following tests last year that reported six of its cattle had died of copper poisoning.
"The minister must confirm if all meat produced by NFC is free from copper toxicity and if the ministry has stringent inspections following the discovery of copper poisoning (in NFC beef) last year," said PJ Utara MP Tony Pua.
At a press conference at Parliament House today, Pua cited Veterinary Services tests on carcasses of six NGC cattle found dead last year from copper poisoning.
The matter, he said, must be explained as "not only are taxpayers' monies are involved, but the health of Malaysians is also at stake".
