IPOH: Recent reports of high nitrite content in some bird's nest products from Malaysia have not affected demand for the delicacy in China.
Producers in Malaysia, however, need to practise strict quality control to restore the confidence of consumers in China, said Xu Yu Fei, vice-mayor of Wenzhou city in the republic's southeastern Zhejiang province.
She admitted that consumer confidence in China had been “slightly affected” following the reports.
“Local producers need to redouble their efforts in promoting their products in China and to prove to consumers their products are of a high quality,” she said.
Xu was speaking to reporters after a business matching and dialogue session between local businessmen and their counterparts from Wenzhou here yesterday.
