Another London supermarket has apparently been caught in a blunder over selling pork products beside a sticker celebrating Ramadan.

A branch of Morrisons in west London has been criticised for the "disappointing gaffe" by a Muslim shopper who said he spotted the misplaced sticker on a freezer.

Many Muslims believe pork is forbidden and are unlikely to break their daylight fast during Ramadan with the meat.

But according to Shoaib M Khan the ban was overlooked at the west Hounslow outlet, making it the second supermarket in two days to cause a stir over apparent Ramadan promotions. Morrisons denies the pork products formed part of such a promotion.

Practising Muslim and human rights lawyer Mr Khan, who is currently observing Ramadan, spotted the freezer display last month in the run-up to the religious festival, during which many consume no food and drink in daylight hours.

He said he doubted it had been done on purpose but suspected an oblivious member of staff was responsible.

"I don't think it's offensive but it's disappointing," the 32-year-old said.

"If you're going to do something like that you need to do it properly.

"I wasn't offended but other Muslims might have been.

"They need to be careful about this sort of thing."

Mr Khan, from west London, compared the display - which he said appeared on a row of other Ramadan promotional fridges storing mostly vegetarian products - to a misguided Tesco offer reported by the Standard yesterday.

A Liverpool Street store came in for criticism after it placed smokey bacon flavoured Pringles on a Ramadan promotional stand, with some describing the mistake as "hilarious".

"With Tesco, it was just [bacon] flavouring - which is suitable for vegetarians," he said.

"But obviously sausages and pork, they're probably not the sort of items Muslims would ever eat."

Morrisons said the pork products were never part of a Ramadan promotion and claimed the sticker may have been moved by a customer.

“The photo appears to show a Ramadan sticker that was originally located in another freezer section," a spokesman said.

"Somebody appears to have moved the sticker before the photo was taken. We can confirm that the Ramadan sticker is not near any pork products this week.”
