This is nothing new. Al-Qaeda has long considered the contamination of food as a jihad mass murder tactic. And in 2017, the Islamic State called on Muslims to poison food in Western supermarkets

And it has happened at least twice in Britain:

UK: Shop-owners sold chocolate cake sprinkled with human feces

UK: Muslim who sprayed food with feces and urine can’t be deported

They also shared information on which stores Kate shops in.

A security source told Daily Star Sunday the threat was being taken “very seriously”.

The hate message was posted on the same site used by Islamic State supporter Husnain Rashid to call on his followers to kill Kate and William’s son Prince George.

Former mosque teacher Rashid, 32, is now serving life in jail over the plot.

He also urged fanatics in some of the staggering 290,000 hate messages he sent on encrypted sites to poison tubs of ice cream in supermarkets across Britain.

The Telegram instant messaging app has military grade encryption and was described as a “tool kit for terrorism” during Rashid’s trial.
