Channel NewsAsia - Friday, November 2 SINGAPORE: NTUC FairPrice said it
will make a police report over what it called "a deliberate and wilful
act of mischief" to tamper with its packaging of "Pasar Fresh Pork".
A photo sent in by a viewer showed a packet of pork under NTUC's
Pasar brand with a "halal" sticker from the Islamic Religious Council of
Singapore (MUIS).
Muslims are forbidden from eating pork and such "halal" labels are
reserved for food products that do not contain pork or other
non-permissible products.
"Halal" means permissible for Muslims to consume.
NTUC Fairprice has clarified that the original packaging does not come
with a "halal" sticker.
It added that this matter is serious and it will take all necessary
steps to make sure such act of mischief is stopped and will not be
repeated. ” CNA/ac
