The NIHT is aware of the fraudulent labeling of box meat as Halaal by a Cape Town based company. This company is not certified Halaal. The necessary steps including legal are presently being pursued. AS A POLICY THE NIHT DOES NOT APPROVE IMPORTED MEAT PRODUCTS. We have in the past made announcements to this effect. Muslim Consumers are urged and warned not to accept Halaal labels on face value. For any further issues concerning this or other Halaal issues please feel free to contact the NIHT.
