Food traceability in Malaysia is governed by s10 of the Food Hygiene Regulations 2009 which provides:

(1) A proprietor, owner or occupier of food premises shall provide a food traceability system in the food premises which able to identify one step back from where the food came and one step forward to where the food went at any specified stage of a food chain from production to distribution.
(2) Any proprietor, owner or occupier of food premises who fails to comply with subregulation (1) commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding ten thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.

A key concern in Malaysia is the traceability of Halal food. While there are laws such as The Trade Descriptions (Definition of Halal) Order 2011, enacted under the Trade Descriptions Act 2011, which regulate Halal certification, there is no traceabiltiy system in place to trace Halal products throughout the supply chain.
