This endorsement is equivalent to a special testimonial from the professional body with a high degree of credibility.

CAM is pleased to announce the introduction of an endorsement scheme open to relevant individuals, educational institutions, manufacturers, Food & Beverage establishments, varying businesses as well as community bodies and other organisations. Interested parties are invited to solicit for this endorsement through a simple endorsement agreement with CAM. CAM is offering this endorsement scheme as a service for the benefit of Malaysia’s F & B industry and other players in the local economy.

The Endorsement Agreement entitles you to use CAM’s name, official logo and an endorsing statement that reads as “Endorsed by the Chefs Association of Malaysia”. Having a CAM endorsement means that your product, event or retail outlet carries a seal of approval by a big name associated with Malaysia’s vibrant F & B industry.

While CAM intends to offer the endorsement scheme as a form of service to F & B and related industries and associated activities, a nominal fee will be imposed to generate revenue for the association’s activities, projects and administration.
