Authority call to ban non-halal protein bars

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Public Authority for Food and Nutrition (PAFN) has called for imposing a ban on all imports of several kinds of protein bars for including non-halal ingredients. In a press statement Sunday, the PAFN Secretary General Adel Al-Suwait said the authority singled out Snickers, Mars, Bounty and Milky Way protein bars for the ban. He pointed that the authority has found that these products had non-halal ingredients.

The PAFN has also proposed banning imports of all kinds of processed or unprocessed ruminant meats from Kazakhstan due to the recent outbreak of the anthrax infection.
