Halal Certification on Our Food

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

We have received a number of letters from people asking if we will be putting the Muslim Halal logo on our food.l   

 To acquire Halal certification, payment is required to the endorsing body and involves a number of site inspections of both our  

growers and processors in order to ensure that our practices comply with the conditions of Halal certification.  It is important to note 

that this does not reflect the quality of the food being processed or sold – it only means that the products are approved as being 

prepared in accordance with the traditions of the Muslim faith. We are aware of an increasing number of large companies both in 

Australia and overseas, such as Kraft and Cadbury, who have obtained accreditation to use the Halal logo. We don’t believe they have

 done this because of any religious commitment but rather for purely commercial reasons. Perhaps these large organisations can 

afford to do this. While we have a choice however, we would prefer to avoid unnecessarily increasing the cost of our products in order

 to pay for Halal accreditation when this money would be better spent continuing to support important charitable causes where 

assistance is greatly needed. .... Dick Smith

How much money are you giving this religion to build mosques and schools......

Then why would keep repeating they are funding terrorism?.......bizarre...

I have the choice to boycott those goods.  Good on Dick Smith for saying no thanks

I've always really admired Dick Smith too, for his very strong "buy Austrsalian"policies

No, that's what you keep saying, 

what I'm saying is if that's what you believe, then boycott those companies you're accusing of funding terrorism

A small percentage of "Halal " impost ends up in isil and al qaeda hands. This topic has been on before and many on here now participated and know this for a fact.

The funds probably pay for administration, legal, dieticians, etc just the same as for the Heart Foundation's Red Tick.

Sharia goes way beyond food and halal but the point we want to make here is that all of the halal certification organisations are

operating under sharia law and desire for sharia law to be accepted as a part of our mainstream society.

Money that is paid out in fees for halal certification is used to fund in part or whole the push for sharia law in Australia.

Oh I see, its Sharia Law now, earlier in the thread it was said to be funding terrorism.

to me  Sharia law is pretty much  terrorism, horrible, they will never convert me

sorry for confusing you btw
