Pork used in NAN H.A 1 baby formula

I greatly appreciate, as a Muslim that Pick n Pay keeps their halaal meat and pork products apart in a way that is clear to the consumer... with regards to the meat section.This for me is a precedence in terms of Pick n Pay highlighting to their Muslim customers, that we care about your religious requirements and we make it easy for you to know which products have pork in the small print, hidden among 5000 words of product information on the packaging. However this is not done for all products. The mixing of pork with non pork products is not acceptable for any product line including baby formula. If it is not possible to separate ALL pork items like you current do in your meat section, then please declare it here that ALL products may contain pork. This will send a clear message to consumers that there is no precedence with regards to the separation of products and that ALL your products must be checked for pork ingredients. I dont have the time to read the packaging of 100 items in my shopping basket, so i will rather take my business to a muslim owned shop.
