KUALA LUMPUR: A study is being carried out by the Health Ministry to develop a specific standard for swiftlet nest and its products under the Food Regulations 1985.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said this was to enhance consumers' confidence on the safety level of swiftlet nest and its products since it was a new industry.

"Safety and quality control of all swiftlet nest products will also be upgraded to ensure they are safe and of quality," he said in a statement here yesterday.
