Recently, fake Milo is being distributed in the market. Because of this, Milo drinkers are encouraged to take strict precautions in purchasing authentic Milo products.

RM 250,000 (S$94,058) worth of imitation products of Milo were confiscated by the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry. 1,000 empty boxes, 50,000 empty plastic packs, a printer, a weighing machine, and a numbering printer were also seized in Negeri Sembilan, Kuala Lumpur.

According to reports, the fabricated products were ready for distribution. Also, six immigrants from Myanmar and Indonesia were arrested during the said raid. This issue is the reason why a campaign educating Milo's loyal customers how to spot the fake products from the original was launched in Malaysia, the country with the largest number of Milo consumers.


So, here's how to spot fake Milo packaging from the original.


To avoid potential harm and further damages to Nestlé and its loyal customers, a photo on spotting the difference between fake and original Milo is now circulating on Facebook. The authentic Milo packaging is machine packed and cut unevenly unlike the fake package with perfect triangular cuts, according to Nestlé.

Meanwhile, Nestlé Malaysia has simultaneously released a statement saying:

“Dear fans, Nestlé Malaysia has been alerted that the authorities have found counterfeit versions of Milo packaging and Milo powder being produced in Negeri Sembilan. Please be assured that we are working very closely with the relevant authorities especially the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism to ultimately curb this matter as the safety and quality of our products is a non-negotiable priority of Nestlé.”

Fake products are ubiquitous and they are not likely to disappear from the market for as long as there is demand for them, so customers are encouraged to remain observant in purchasing products which might greatly affect their health and safety.

Also, the consumers are advised to report any misconduct so that the necessary and immediate actions may be taken right away. This will help to diminish the production of fake products.
