The Singapore-based National Trade Union Congress supermarket (NTUC FairPrice) is to file a report with the police over tampering with its pork packaging.
The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) alerted the supermarket over a packet of the supermarket’s Pasar brand of pork with a ‘halal’ sticker on it.
‘Halal’ products are especially for muslims who are not permitted to eat foods containing pork.
Deliberate act
The company stated that this was a “deliberate act to interfere with its pork packaging and that the original packaging does not have such a sticker”.
All necessary steps will be taken by NTUC FairPrice to ensure that this unfortunate event does not reoccur.
