Isla Délice and Réghalal dangerous for your health?

More than 30% of the ingredients that make up halal products (turkey breast or chicken breast) of the Isla Délice or Réghalal brands are not meat. Instead, we find water, starch, nitrites and above all, additives.

On the back of the packaging of a packet of halal “Turkey Délice” from the Isla Délice brand purchased in a supermarket, Faïza Ghraïri inquires about the ingredients: “halal turkey meat (EU origin) 68.7%”, she begins by reading. “68%, it’s not a lot anyway! And what’s the rest? », asks the owner of the Molati halal butchery and delicatessen, in Roubaix. Then water, potato starch, soy protein. “I don’t put water in my chicken breasts,” she says.
