Pick ‘n Pay in Tokai has apologised after their store was caught up in a social media uproar when halaal chicken was found packed with pork in cold storage.
The store was accused of violating halaal standards after pictures of the pre-packed chicken marked with a halaal sticker and stacked in crates next to pork hanging in a freezer was shared on Facebook and WhatsApp on Friday morning.
The pictures were apparently taken by an electrician working at the store and were accompanied by a voice note in which the man says:
“Salaam ma! I am here by Tokai Pick ‘n Pay. I am doing a light fitting here in the freezer with Robin.
You see that photos I sent you, there is pork with halaal chicken and halaal meat that lays together here but they go put it on the shelves. [sic] Do you think that is right? The Muslims don’t know what goes on behind the scenes.”
