HALAL FOOD

Hello again…!!!

We have talked about some of food topics; today we would like to share with you about Halal, as a mentioned by our ex-Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Malaysia as a hub of Halal product.

Did you read any information on the labeling??

Did you look any HALAL sign on the packaging…???

Did you know the HALAL sign that proved by JAKIM??

If you found it, it’s good. If not, it is better you to recheck or stop from eating the food until you confirm it is HALAL (for Muslims). Do you know what the HALAL sign means?? HALAL means lawful or legal while according to the Islamic law, HALAL is designating for any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in.

When we talk about HALAL, usually people will think about the ingredient contained in the food such as pork, wine and so on. However, there is not only the factor that we need to examine to certify the HALAL food. The HALAL food can be certify by other factors too such as how food was prepared, slaughtering, processing, handling, storage, transportation, cleaning, disinfection and management practice. As a modern and knowledgeable people, we should examine the food by trying to gain the information about the food without jumping into the conclusion whenever we heard rumours. So, what we need to do is, we can search for the information such as the list of the companies that have been certified by JAKIM's website to have confirmation about the product:

Don’t worry for non-Muslims; you are encouraged to eat HALAL food because it safe and clean. Nowadays, people are educated and very particular in choosing any food products. So as a student, we are also encouraged to be careful with what we buy from outside, since taking HALAL food is good for our health and prevent us from any disease or food poisoning.
