SINGAPORE - The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) are looking into allegations raised over a cartel s packaging and sale of halal-certified meat in Malaysia to determine if the Singapore market is affected by the purported misconduct.
Recent media reports in Malaysia have alleged that the cartel smuggles, repacks and re-labels non-halal frozen meat items as halal-certified, the two organisations noted in a joint statement on Tuesday (Dec 29).
Muis and SFA said that only meat and meat products from SFA-accredited overseas establishments can be imported into Singapore, and these imported goods are also subject to the agency s food safety surveillance programme to ensure that they meet import requirements and regulatory standards.
