A halal certificate and halal handling certificate of a cafe and restaurant in Gadong’s commercial area have been cancelled after a 25-litre barrel of pork fat (refined lard), 35 solid packets of duck blood and 58 other types of food items were found and used as cooking ingredients.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), through the Syariah Affairs Department, said the Halal Food Control Division, on behalf of the Brunei Islamic Religious Council (MUIB), in exercising authority under Section 6 (3) of the Halal Certificate and Halal Label Order 2005, has cancelled the eatery’s halal certificates issued by MUIB.
The cancellation of the certificates was the result of a routine inspection by the enforcement officers of the Halal Food Control Division on holders of halal certificates and Brunei Islamic Religious Council permits on September 26.
