02 Apr 2021

Following speculations of importing coconut oil with high levels of Aflatoxin, Pyramid Wilmar, issuing a statement on Wednesday (31 March), categorically denied “fabricated and false allegations/insinuations” against its products, including cooking oils, fat spreads, and industrial margarines.  The company stated that such allegations/insinuations against Pyramid Wilmar are demonstrably false, baseless, and maliciously contrived with a view to discredit and damage Pyramid Wilmar’s reputation and standing in the market.   “Pyramid Wilmar reserves its right to take appropriate legal action against those making these allegations/insinuations,” it added.  The company further noted that it is an organisation that engages in ethical business, following good governance and best practices which form the core of its existence and operation.  “By virtue of its uncompromising standards and dedicated commitment to its clientele and stakeholders, Pyramid Wilmar’s ‘Fortune’ brand of products has earned leading standing in Sri Lanka’s cooking oil market. Pyramid Wilmar manufactures cooking oils under stringent quality parameters and are duly compliant with international and local health and safety required standards such as FSSC 22000, ISO 14001, ISO 9001, HACCP, GMP and health & safety guidelines,” Pyramid Wilmar added.  The company reiterated that its cooking oil products imports are subjected to requisite testing and verification before release into the local market. All cooking oils released to the market by Pyramid Wilmar are only released upon being duly certified as compliant with requisite quality standards, including total Aflatoxin levels in Coconut Oil as stipulated by the Sri Lankan regulatory authorities.
