The country’s three largest frozen meat suppliers, namely the Allana Group, Amroon and Al-Aali are among those that are guaranteed halal, said Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Rosol Wahid.
He said, therefore, the Muslim community in the country should not have to 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 today.
Rosol said the visit was to instil confidence among the community that the meat supply in the market was 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 was trying to protect certain companies or those involved in the issue which is of great concern among Muslims in the country.
