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
