A supermarket chain has apologised after a black pudding product was incorrectly labelled as halal-certified.
Muslim customers at Aldi were left fuming by the blunder that saw supposedly halal black pudding being sold containing pig blood and skins, the Mirror reported. Pork is forbidden in Islam.
"This is absolutely outrageous and I am deeply offended by this," Manahil Khan told the Mirror.
"I am pretty sure many others of the Muslim community are also very offended by this.
"It is demoralising and goes against one's religious morals and scripture.... and I speak on behalf of every Muslim and human that does not deserve to be misled by any sort of false claim of halal food or lies about what we consume."
Manufacturer Punjab Pakora, based in Ayr, apologised for the incident, saying it was a printing mistake which had now been rectified, as did Aldi. Read on and comment » | Agency | Monday, May 18, 2015
