When building your own OEM powdered beverage brand, product quality and food safety should always be a top priority. One essential certification that helps ensure this in Malaysia is MESTI — a food safety certification granted by the Ministry of Health Malaysia. But what exactly is MESTI, and why is it important for your brand?
What is MESTI?
MESTI stands for “Makanan Selamat Tanggungjawab Industri”, which means “Food Safety is the Responsibility of the Industry.” It is a food safety assurance program designed to ensure that food manufacturing companies implement and maintain a basic food hygiene and safety system.
Why MESTI is Important for OEM Powdered Beverage Brands:
1. Ensures Food Safety Compliance
MESTI-certified manufacturers follow strict hygiene practices and food safety protocols. This minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures your powdered beverage products are produced in a safe, clean, and controlled environment.
2. Builds Consumer Trust
Consumers are increasingly aware of food certifications. Working with a MESTI-certified OEM manufacturer signals that your brand prioritizes health, hygiene, and regulatory compliance — which helps build trust and credibility.
3. Meets Legal Requirements in Malaysia
If you're launching a powdered beverage brand in Malaysia, having your products manufactured by a MESTI-certified facility ensures compliance with the Ministry of Health’s legal requirements. This protects your business from potential penalties and product recalls.
4. Supports Market Expansion
Planning to expand locally or globally? Many retailers and distributors prefer or require certified products. MESTI certification opens doors to retail shelves, online platforms, and international markets by meeting key food safety standards.
5. A Stepping Stone to Higher-Level Certifications
MESTI is often the first step toward higher-level certifications like HACCP and GMP. When your OEM partner has MESTI, it shows they have the foundation and commitment needed for continuous improvement in food safety standards.
Choosing a MESTI-certified OEM powdered beverage manufacturer, like Bio Care Supplements Worldwide Manufacturing, gives your brand a strong foundation in food safety, quality, and consumer confidence. Whether you're a startup or scaling an existing business, working with a certified partner is essential for long-term success.
