Kuwait: Fake halal meat, forged certificates
Markets in Kuwait have imported meats with fake certificates that state that they had been slaughtered according to Islamic Halal regulations.
Dr Hani Al-Mazidi, a technological researcher at the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) has made this allegation.
According to Al-Mazidi, certificates for meat should normally have an accredited stamp from the Arab or Muslim country of origin – regardless of the nature of the certified meat, whether it is livestock or poultry.
Al-Mazidi further stated that all kinds of processed meats that were analysed by the KISR were discovered to have fats and gelatins of suspicious origin, including substances from pigs.
