They have also initialised halal certification on all their products for religious purposes since 1996. This has meant the company can export its products to 40 different countries and has helped it have the economic power that it has today. This allows Muslims to eat the product without affecting religious beliefs with the guarantee that it is 100% halal certified.
They have altered their product for individual’s health conscious attitudes by introducing alternative products such as the Super Slim Bega Cheese Slices. This package of processed cheese contains 65% less fat than the normal cheese slice. Each slice of cheese contains
