Muslim consumers warned of fake 'halal' food

MUSLIM consumers in Metro Manila and elsewhere in the country are hereby warned to read properly first the ingredients of meat products before buying to ensure that these are truly halal (approved by Islamic law).

Through his social media account, Southern Philippines Development Authority (SPDA) Administrator and Chief Executive Officer Gerry Salapuddin gave the warning, "Beware [of] Pork Leg," which The Manila Times discovered was about imported meat products packed by BW Foods Ltd./Meat Embassy from Lagos, Nigeria.
