KEBANGSAAN

Introduction

• Malaysians are now more health conscious and there is generally greater awareness of the importance of nutrition to overall well-being.

• In recent years, many consumers also rely on a variety of “dietary supplements” to improve their health.

• These supplements (sometimes referred to as “health food/beverage”) comprise a diverse group of products that are now freely available through a myriad of outlets.

Introduction

• A variety of products are available in the market, supposedly for the prevention and even treatment of the chronic diseases.

• These products may range from foods modified to have special properties or pure forms of vitamins and minerals and extracts of various botanical or animal products.

• These products are marketed through a variety of channels and often carry a variety of functional and health claims.

• It is important to monitor and regulate the marketing and sale of these products so as to protect the interest of consumers.

Introduction

• There are, however, various products in the market that were not clearly marketed as “food” or “drugs”.

• These have been termed as “food-drug interphase products” and include a variety of so called health products.

• Previously, it has been difficult to determine which authority should regulate the marketing and sale of such products, ie BKMM or BPFK. This has caused difficulty to the companies intending to market such products. It is also not beneficial to the consumer as the products could be in the market and not regulated by either of the authorities.

Introduction

• To overcome these problems and to enable a quick decision to be made as to which authority should regulate a particular product, a committee called Committee for the Classification of Food-Drug Interphase Products (Jawatankuasa Pengkelasan Keluaran Food-Drug Interphase) has been formed since year 2000.

• The main terms of reference of the committee is to assist the BKMM and BPFK in classifying an application from the industry which is not clearly a food or drug (a food-drug interphase (FDI) product) in a consistent manner.

• Other duties include advising the two divisions of the Ministry of Health in strengthening and updating the relevant regulations as well as to provide scientific input on these products.

Classification of FDI

• Through a series of meetings of the Committee for the Classification of Food-Drug Interphase Products, the Divisions of Food Quality Control (BKMM) and the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau (BPFK) have arrived at a system for the classification of food-drug interphase products.

• This classification is based on multiple criteria system as follows :

Classification of FDI

1. If a product contains 80% or more of food ingredients, singly or in combination, and with equal to or less than 20% of biologically active ingredients of natural products with pharmacological and/or therapeutic properties, the product has to be regulated by BKMM.

Example

• Beverage containing Tongkat AliIf the beverage contains 85% of

food/drinks ingredient (e.g.fruit juice) and 15% of Tongkat Ali ingredient.

The product is regulated by BKMM

Classification of FDI

2. If a product contains less than 80% of food-based ingredients and more than 20% of the active ingredients, such product shall be regulated by BPFK.

Example

• Beverage containing Tongkat AliIf the beverage contains 75% of

food/drinks ingredient (e.g.fruit juice) and 25% of Tongkat Ali ingredient.

The product is regulated by BPFK

Classification of FDI

3. If the product is a ‘pure’ form (close to 100%) of active ingredients, eg vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, fibre, enzymes, etc, the product has to be regulated by BPFK.

Classification of FDI

4. Products containing solely natural ingredients that are not traditionally used as food/beverage and possess medicinal value, such as alfalfa, spirulina, royal jelly, noni juice, rooibose tea, pegaga tablet and other herbal products shall be regulated by BPFK.

Classification of FDI

• When there is greater uncertainty about the efficacy and safety of a product, BPFK would be the prefered authority to regulate it.

• This is to enable closer scrutiny of such products, to better safe guard the interest of consumers.

Other Criteria

• The following may be used as additional criteria to assist in the classification of products:

1. Intended use and claims made by the product. Eventually, if a product has been decided to be regulated by BKMM, no claims shall be made, other than those permitted by the food regulations.

Other Criteria

2. Instruction for use and pharmaceutical dosage forms such as tablet, capsule.

these ingredients.NPCB-National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau

FSQD – Food Safety and Quality Division

• If a product is more than 80% food based but contains pure forms of active ingredient (e.g.: vitamins & minerals) that exceed the amounts permitted in Food Regulations 1985, the company shall be advised to reduce the amounts of these active ingredients and be regulated by FQC.• Intended use and claim should not be used as sole criteria for classification but can be used as a guide• Instruction for use and pharmaceutical dosage form like tablet, capsule, should not be used as criteria for classification but can be used as a guide.
