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.

Woolworths have Cadbury chocolate blocks on sale. No halal logo.

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

---

That was just info for the poster who suggested people should rip off the outer covering and return it to the shop.

I have a fridge...............

I don't like chocolate out of the fridge either. I'll have it at wintertime room temperature sometimes, but I can't stand it at all half-melted at summertime room temperature and I hate it all hard out of the fridge.

Can't stand Homebrand sliced cheese it's like eating plastic, and I wouldn't buy it halal or not.

Oh and I have a fridge too...how big's yours?

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.   😄

The plastic wrapper is more nutritious.

May I respectully suggest that people are buying this product believing it to be cheese, nothing to do with halal lol (mind you, the connection between homebrand cheese slices and cheese may be somewhat tenuous.

And did you seriously request that the product be removed from the shelves ? This is a pickering-style wind-up, surely.  "Attention shoppers, nutter aisle 3, nutter aisle 3"

I DEMAND the right to buy Homebrand Coles Slice "cheese" even though it may be Halal-accredited.

Are my demands any less relevant than the minority that loudly decry this ?   WHY are they attempting to restrict MY rights to buy these "cheese" slices ?   Why are the few dictating to the many ?

heres a thought. If you and all the others who hate the halal threads stopped posting on them, they would move off the page a lot faster.

This thread had an hour of no one even posting on it and was moving down the page till you bumped it back up lol

You'll probably find that all their bottled water is halal too, and I don't suppose that has stickers on it either. Actually, come to think of it, the water coming out of your tap is also halal - maybe you should ask the Water Board to turn off the ssupply until they have put official halal accreditation stickers  on everyones taps.

That would be because I didn't refresh the page before posting then. It was close to the top on my screen.

halal when in reference to food means

it has been prepared as prescribed in the koran.

what preparation process does water have to go through

to make it halal?  aren't all these discussions about food

that needs to be approved/certified to make it permissible

as prescribed in the koran?

i don't understand why food that does not need to be approved

gets brought into these discussions? (or in this case water)

[azureline**]

Halal = permitted/allowed

" Actually, come to think of it, the water coming out of your tap is also halal - maybe you should ask the Water Board to turn off the ssupply until they have put official halal accreditation stickers  on everyones taps."

That just shows your ignorance.

I'll post this again just for you.

To me, water is not halal, it is just water. I am not Muslim so no food is halal to me, it is just food.

It would be ridiculous if SA water suddenly started paying for halal certification on the water that comes out of our taps.
