KUALA LUMPUR: The country's three largest frozen meat suppliers - the Allana Group, Amroon and Al-Aali - are among those that are guaranteed halal, said Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister (KPDNHEP) Datuk Rosol Wahid.
He said, therefore, the Muslim community in the country should not worry about purchasing meat from the three companies.
"Do not be influenced by the information spread on social media, claiming that an alleged meat cartel has been operating for more than 40 years," he told the media after visiting frozen meat importing firm Fatric Sdn Bhd in Selayang here, today.
Rosol said the visit was to instill confidence among the community that the meat supply in the market is halal.
Earlier, in the Dewan Negara, Rosol said a frozen meat importer allegedly involved in the meat cartel scandal in Johor will be charged in court tomorrow for using a fake halal logo on its vehicles.
He also refuted the allegation that the government is trying to protect certain companies or individuals involved in the scandal. - Bernama
