gal10: I went to Shoprite (Lekki) today and asked to see the manager. I asked point blank if they used pig oil to bake their bread and he said a categorical NO!. I am not a moslem but i dont eat pork or its derivatives cos i dont think it is healthy. I love Shoprite bread so had to clear my spirit.

I should have mentioned it that there is an online campaign against their bread so that they can bring out a press release but i forgot to.

slimyem: Who cares??

Everything created by God is all good.

tunshe:

Helloooo! Shoprite is for all and if we find out they use pig fat, we stop patronage.

That's Islam for you!

I sense you are pig eater ? You like it? Is it sweet? Are you fat?

Guitarlife: Having taken time to read through this thread carefully, I can smell a calculated attempt by some disgruntled individuals to unfairly malign the shoprite bread.

Its probably due to the threat that shoprite bread might put other substandard breads out of market.

Its unfortunate though , but even more disturbing is the platyform they are using to achieve their vile aims.

A religion that prides itself as being built on truth and peace shouldn't be found peddling rumours.

I hereby call on the moderators of the islam section to halt the attempt of a selfish few to drag the image of the religion in the mud in such shame.

An unverified claim should not be riding on the back of islam to propagate itself.

Its akin to providing a suitable channel for evil to permeate which is rather unfortunate.

How can the moderators who pride themselves as being fair to all fold their arms as some faceless indivuals throw about damaging and unverified claims in a bid to score cheap points.

This is disturbing and Seun needs to do something about unfair and negative tactics like these.

How can this country mve forward? Its just despicable that someone will derive pleasure in bringing down the business of a hardworking person on the premise of a beer parlour rumour.

Hope.At.Hand:


No sir, i'm not a fan of pork.

just lay ur complaints to them and hope they effect the desired change and if not there are other good breads out there.

Dnt cum on Nairaland and launch a smear campaign against Shoprite cos thats obviously what this has turned into.

And lastly, muslims do not determine where the sun rises and where it sets...if u know what i mean.

So y'all better stop acting exclusive cos u wont be missed.

usermane: Peace be on you. Are you a muslim? Pig meat is forbidden but pig oil is not(Qur'an 2:172-173)

nchewi: Well, am Commenting because this thread made frontpage!!!

But why use pig-fat, are we in short supply of cow-fat?

deols:

You have no idea. Someone beside me just called her mum to tell her of this..

And I am telling my family members too.Many people are going to.spread the word.

Shoprite is gonna hear it.

The right thing would have been to put the halal sign on their products, if halal

Qbaba:
Yeah,you can eat anything because you don't read your bible very well.

ocman: see this one wey dey chop agege. you dont even know that shoprite makes many sorts of bread ranging from sugar white, sugar brown, sugarless(for diabetic peeps) and salt bread. you dont know that shoprite houses its own bakeries? Try and visit shoprite, and please go inside and stop taking pics outside alone. You would be amazed at the kind of queue you would see in the breadline waiting for oven-fresh bread.

richP: dude calm your tits..read Acts 10: 9-16

since you apparently know my bible more than i do

deols:

No one claimed that it is verified. The op is in a question format.

Muslims get wahala? Because we obey our Quran?

You want us to be like you who disobeys your bible? See below;

Leviticus 11:7-8

And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.

tbaba1234: Usermane, Is pig fat not part of the meat?

Let us look at a couple of the verses you have pulled.
Start with Peter in Acts 10
12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." 14 But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean." 15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common
We see God telling Peter to eat, and Peter refusing.
Then we See God telling Peter not to call "common" that which God has "Cleansed".

Implication? God has Cleansed Pork and therefore it is no longer "unclean".

Next you refer to Acts 15:29:
that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.
No mention of Pork here or of "unclean foods". The prohibition is not agianst the type of food. It is against eating that offered to Idols.

Sorry - but these verses, nor any other in the New Testament Hold up.
Are you by chance Muslim?

Peace

To elaborate on this:

The passages here illustrate an important point. God is re-illustrating to Peter that much of the strictures of the Old Covenant no longer apply. God is pointing out to Peter that, in following the New Covenant, such restrictions are no longer in place.

Thus, as Christians, we are by definition of the New Covenant not required to follow Jewish (Old Covenant) dietary restrictions. Christians do not practice Judaic law. It is also why the commandment of the Lord's Day now falls on a Sunday, and not the Sabbath.
