The Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) is urging the Muslim community in the Sultanate to exercise due diligence by carefully inspecting the label and information on food packages before purchase.
The call from the ministry was made in the wake of reports that had gone viral on social media regarding food items carrying the halal logo despite containing non-halal ingredients.
One report was on the Soft Candy with Jam candy, which carries a halal logo from the Halal Food Council International – Malaysia and Region, and alleged to contain pork gelatin.
