The Ministry of Religious Affairs reminded owners, managers, businesses, product suppliers and importers to be attentive on the imported food products to be sold to the public by ensuring that Halal products are not placed together with non-Halal products. The reminder was made after an instant noodle Kyushu "Tonkotsu" Artificial Pork Flavour Ramen under the Itsuki brand was found sold openly in some supermarkets in the country.
The Syariah Affairs Department, Ministry of Religious Affairs also conducted a research and found the manufacturing company, Itsuki Foods Company Limited, which produces Kyushu "Tonkotsu" instant ramen with artificial pork flavour, also produces a variety of instant noodle products with pork-based flavours. The Syariah Affairs Department has ordered the owner of the supermarkets involved to withdraw all products from the said company from public display, to be placed in the non-Halal section.
