For many years, Ayam Brand™ Malaysia is giving back to those who needed most. Every years 2 months of food supplies are distributed nationwide to charitable homes to support the elders, disabled and orphans.

With an environmental logic, Ayam Brand™ believes that the whole product should be used in the process to limit waste therefore we are engaged in a long term production program to reduce waste and carbon footprint.

For our coconut range: our factory process the whole coconut (water, oil, milk and cream) and the only waste, the coconut shell, is collected and used for the burners to replace the usual fossil energy, like oil or gas.

In the case of our fish factory, we are working on special machinery that will process the rejects to produce Fish Hydrolyzed Protein for the pharmaceutical industry.

We minimize packaging and work mostly with simple packaging material like tin, glass or paper, which are 100% recyclable.

Tuna range: the ingredients are gluten free. Our tuna factory has an organization that actively prevents allergen cross-contamination.

We also do random checks on our products to ensure that our products do not have various types of allergen cross-contamination. However as we do not make such public claims for this range of products, we currently do not have a systematic allergen control and gluten free certification.

Ayam Brand™ has, for many years, implemented a responsible policy for the use of palm oil, by replacing it, wherever technically possible, by alternative vegetable oils with a healtier nutrient profile. For the few Ayam Brand™ products still using palm oil, our factories only source segregated certified sustainable palm oil of West Malaysia origin.

Big marine predators like shark, whale, swordfish an some big tuna species may contain traces of methyl mercury beecause the mercury concentrations increase at the top of the food chain.

Ayam Brand™ selects only small size fishes from two species of tuna: skipjack and small yellowfin.

Because the selected tuna are relatively small, they are naturally unlikely to concentrate mercury like big size predators.

Notwithstanding the tuna selection, Ayam Brand™, for the total peace of mind of its tuna consumers, send each and every batch of its tuna production for and independent laboratory mercury analysis.

Ayam Brand™ makes sure that its tuna productions comply with the most stringent food safety regulations in the world.

Monosodium glutamate is flavour enhancer because it balances, blends and rounds the total perception of other tastes. You can find it under the food addictive E621. But if the recipe is good and the ingredietns are fresh, what is the point of having added MSG? Ayam Brand™ canned food is guaranteed without added MSG to provide you with only the best recipe.

(1) Ayam Brand™ is compliant with the most stringent regulations in the world covering BPA and all Ayam Brand™ products are totally safe for consumption.

Most cans come with linings to protect food from contact with the metal used in the can. For decades, these linings have been made of epoxy, containing BPA (Bisphenol A).

Independent laboratory analyses have demonstrated that for most of Ayam Brand™'s reference products there is no migration of BPA to food even after each can's expiry date.

In 2009, France was the first country to prohibit BPA lacquers in contact with food. In some USA states like California, presence of BPA lacquers should be indicated on the packaging label.

Since 2017, we have been working on the implementation of BPA-FREE lining in all its cans.

(2) Ayam Brand™ is switching ALL its canned products to BPA-FREE CANS.

At the beginning of 2012, Ayam Brand™ took the decision to switch all its products to cans with linings containing neither BPA nor any similar family of components such as BPF, BPS etc. Ayam Brand™ is therefore setting even higher standards in this regard than consumers' expectation.

However, at the time the decision was taken, alternative BPA-free linings were not readily available. Ayam Brand™ took it upon itself to extensively test alternative linings with Real Time Aging analysis to ensure that the new lining is better and safer than the existing coating. It took several years for the can industry to formulate the new linings and for Ayam Brand™ to test them.

• All our sardines range are in BPA-free cans.

• All our mackerel/saba range are in BPA-free cans.

• All our canned coconut milk are in BPA-free cans.

• Barley and Baked Beans are currently not yet BPA-Free

• 5 canned tuna recipes (Malaysian Curry Tuna, Tomato Chilli Tuna, Black Pepper Tuna, 95g Chilli Tuna, 95g Deli Tuna Natural) are not yet BPA-free

We have been able to progressively switch all of our products to BPA-free linings. However, there are still some products which have yet to fully switch to BPA-free cans. Please be assured that there is no BPA migration into our food for all of our product range. They are completely safe for consumption even though it has not yet been converted to BPA-free linings.

Canned products are cooked in the can as part of the canning process. This means that they are always fully cooked in the sealed can and may be eaten straight from the can without the need for additional cooking. However, you can warm them up or use them as ingredient in your favourite cooking recipe.

Unopened canned products should be stored in a cool, dry place where they can last for rup to three years in your pantry unless the "best before" date says sooner.

Use a clean and rust-free can opener, or look for pull-tab cans, and wipe the top of a can before opening.

Do not store foods in opened cans in the refrigerator, instead, transfer unused contents to a safe storage container and place immediately in the refrigerator for up to four days.

A can is the best way to preserve the textire, presentation and taste of processed food for long, without adding preservatives.

Caning process uses sterillization, invented by a French cook in 1810 to preserve food in such a stable manner that it could be stored and shipped overseas all year long.

Cans are vacuumede then sealed in air tight conditions and go through a high temperature and controlled heating process. The heating process kilss bacteria and preserves the food.

The product can be safely consumed without the help of preservatives.
