Homebrand Coles Slice Cheese is halal but not advertised

[ufo_investigations]

The coles homebrand slice cheese is halal but there is no halal logo on the packet. I just had this confirmed by coles customer service that their supplier has had the cheese halal certified. I have lodged a complaint with them too, I requested the product should be removed from shelves until such time they put a halal logo on the pack as they are paying an islamic tax to have it made halal.

Aussies are buying this product believing that it is not halal but it is. Australians should not be fooled into buying coles homebrand cheese without knowing it is halal. Complain to coles / talk up. My guess is they didn't want the logo on the pack so they could get more sales.

Cracker Barrell Special Reserve Vintage Cheddar Cheese Block   250g  is also Halal

I've never tasted soap.  What do you serve it with?

I would like to know how China kills cattle.

ONE million beef cattle valued at more than $1 billion are set to be shipped to China each year under a ground-breaking deal between the Australian and Chinese governments that will double Australia’s live-export cattle trade.

Ooowwww. I like my signature. It's one of the few things that keeps me reasonably sane around here 🙂

Perhaps Mr Grizz can find out their fate.  It would have to be better than those going to the Middle East?

I hope so

I think it's because they don't have the capacity for keeping the meat for any length of time?

[polksaladallie]

That would be right.  90% of the Chinese population live in real poverty.  No decent living arrangements, let alone refrigeration.

I think they are being exported live so that there will be work for the unemployed abbattoir workers in China.  It would be interesting if China in turn, on-sells halal certified meat.
