Temimine: To the topic - i am a muslimah and a regular consumer of shoprite bread. I was fearful for myself when i saw the post cause i know what the wt is as a muslim if the above post is true. I thereby went to shoprite to verify since i am affectd. The managemt said they dont use pig oil or fat or and pig product. Says and i quote "if u need any info, visit www. Shoprite.za"
pls let verify issue b4 passing it on it be in form of statement or question.
Jazakumullah khairan. Hope dis will bring an end to the post.

Thanks. But www. shoprite. za as a webpage is not responding. You sure that is their correct website?

oga oooo.... no genuine confirmation yet....

Why the hullabaloo? Nigerians can consume anything. Pig's fat is non issue, since it make one fat and Nigerian girls love fat men, they cherish it as a sign of wealth and riches.

Salam alaykum brothers and sisters, @theeni, am just seeing ur post,
To all viewing, i also try the website, it wasnt responding. I then googled shoprite, i was able to get the correct one which is www.shoprite.co.za which opened but didnt get any useful info on their products. Pls Try it and let see if u can get any to pass across. Another Alternative is to visit the nearest shoprite to u to verify, i did mine in Enugu centre.

Jazakumullah khairan. Tried the same thing you did. Guess it's down to either visiting or mailing them

Hardeshyna: oga oooo.... no genuine confirmation yet....

All the confirmations on this thread are not genuine? Why not go yourself to Shoprite and make it genuine. Mtscheew!

@ all. I went to Shoprite at Adeniran Ogunsanya, Surulere to investigate. I asked for the Manager at the Shopping mall (where bread is baked) in which I was directed.

I told her with strong face and deep voice if Pork fat is used in baking bread as I came to verify. She replied negatively with astonishment.

As soon as I showed her this thread, her voice changed suddenly. She and one male staff calm me down politely and told me there is nothing of such. Dat the allegation is false.

They declared dat HSE Officer and Nafdac officials are always present there. She even suggested that she will invite me to d baking hall to c if it is true. I just told her she shouldnt worry cos dere is no how i will know as I am not a food expert.

In conclusion, it can be inferred dat Shoprite doesnt use pork fat however this is still contestable. D bread wasnt scientifically tested so no evidence of their claim.

I hinted that ingredients used in baking d bread should b written on the d Nylon package but she diverted dat suggestion saying "people (customers) are present watching when they are baking d bread as many people come queueing to buy bread because of this "

One thing is sure. Non-muslims know we Muslims dont joke with our religion. When I told them about this, I notice there scared faces with shivering voices. De know there business is as good as gone.

It wil b gud if there is anyone dat can volunteer to go to Shoprite to investigate again. If actually pork fat is being used, they will definitely change to halal source.

Allah Knows best.

with thw manner you have recanted your experience, I am tempted to ask you one question.

How old are you ?

They're now potential target for suicide bombers. Why won't they have 'scared faces and shivering voices?

oga ooo.... so some ppl stil stupid reach lyk dis? no offense really

Salaam,

I was in shoprite as promised and presented the case.

They denied using pig fat and took me into the bakery right behind the counter. I was shown a gallon of the oil( whitish in colour ) and I read the composition.

With the best of my knowledge, there's no trace of pig/pork/ lard/ beacon/....... Although emulsifier was on the list which I can't really say the source.

In conclusion, I think it's safe to eat the bread until proven otherwise.

Wa Lahu Alaam.

Whether they use haram substance or not, we should be careful as the world turns dark. Foods are being corrupted worldwide. Including Shopritre. Food around the world especially Can food and diary are genetically modified.

The consequences are dare. Dont you notice strange things happening in Nigeria that never happened before(homosexual)?. They imported homo through junk (modified) food. Homosexual is link with food and environment. To be on safe side, you better develop a policy of cooking organic food we used to eat. They are healthy and sahih. Return to farm and process your own food. Stop eating processed food and junks.
