What we found about RANA and halal
Giovanni Rana's fresh pasta range in the UK is large, and the fillings differ widely. Retailer listings mark several vegetarian products, such as spinach and ricotta tortelloni and aubergine parmigiana tortelloni, as suitable for vegetarians.
Other lines contain meat or wine, for example a slow-cooked braised beef and red wine girasoli and a spicy sausage and mozzarella pasta. Vegetarian does not mean halal, and meat fillings need halal-certified meat, so read the filling on each pack.
