Fenu-shock part 2

With regards to my previous post on the Fenugreek Supplement, please find below an extract of the email from Natural Factor's Customer Care people.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Natural Factors products; we appreciate you taking the time to contact us.

Natural Factors labels include the description “vegetarian capsule” where vegetarian are used, otherwise our hard gelatin capsules may be sourced from bovine (beef), porcine (pork) or a mixture of bovine/porcine. Natural Factors softgels are sourced from bovine gelatin. Our latest information on file states that the gelatin used for product code 2200 (Fenugreek) is sourced from bovine.

We hope this information is helpful. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Customer Service

Natural Factors


Naturally i am very disappointed and sad but more importantly i am shocked.. For one, the email does confirm our suspicion that the product is me-ragu-kan.. Especially that part on pork atu lah paling shocking for me.. Secondly, how can this product be freely sold here, w/o a label that says non-consumable by Muslims. Does the authority really check the ingredients used in the products sold here?
