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.

My guess is that Coles knows that their customers don't care one way or another.

I'm not real keen on chocolate, especially not in warm weather. So I won't be buying it, halal or not.

I've never bought them. Why would anyone pay for someone else to cut a slice of cheese? (Unless they had arthritis or similar, of course).

If you've got arthritis you'd never get the plastic off the slice so that can't be it. 😄
