I don't buy vegemite!

and TRUE Aussies don't!

Me either, because it tastes horrible, not because of the label.

I prefer the taste of vegemite to the other brands, so will continue to buy vegemite, though as I say, it lasts a long time in our house

my jar does have the halal symbol, so does my jar of Leggo's bol. sauce.  I love Leggos though, superior brand imo

lol i think you deserve the gold medal more than i do

if someone was looking for halal certified products at stores

to test a theory, would they not look at the popular brands/types

of products?  put your thinking cap on

you're safe!

they interviewed a woman on 7.30 report who sits at her computer all day "investigating" whether food is halal or not  . she must publish her 'findings' on those FB sites

---

LOL i was referring to martini's post claiming

she couldn't find any halal certified items at

woolworths.   i only had to go as far the pantry

do you have links to those FB sites?

will save people scanning  food store shelves

Go Tim, what a great bloke...........

As with all bigotry, anti-Muslim feeling can express itself insidiously. Its currency is distortion and misrepresentation.

Take recent social media campaigns that have been waged against halal certification. Anti-halal campaigners have been targeting various food businesses that comply with Islamic dietary standards. Among other things, campaigners claim that fees paid for halal certification are being used to fund terrorism.

When it comes to halal, ongoing campaigns against it are little more than anti-Islamic bullying. Bullying that aims to stimulate fear and divide Australians.

Any suggestion that certification fees are proceeds to terrorism is unfounded. Australia has laws that forbid people and organisations from funding illegal activity such as terrorism. Organisations that provide halal certification services are not immune from such laws.

Halal slaughter in Australia is also consistent with standards of animal welfare. According to the RSPCA, most halal slaughter in Australia complies with the national standard requiring that all animals be stunned unconscious prior to slaughter. In this respect, halal practices in Australia differ from halal slaughter in many other countries.

As for the certification process itself, this has no negative bearing on the ability of non-Muslims to consume different food products. Halal may be grounded in religion, but the process of halal labelling is primarily focused on hygiene and ingredients – on ensuring, for instance, that ingredients are free from pork and that machinery involved in making food has not been cleaned with alcohol. The Australian Food and Grocery Council explains that the exercise can be best compared to vegan or gluten-free labelling.

All things considered, there is a basic value we should affirm. Every person should be free to live their lives, without being harassed or intimidated because of their religion – or because of what they look like. Most Muslim Australians are law-abiding and loyal Australian citizens who shouldn't be tarred by the brush of prejudice.

Let's remember: bigotry diminishes not only the lives of those who are on the receiving end. It diminishes us all.

but as i said -  i don't care. i dont scan food stores for halal

labels. (not saying others don't have the right to do that though)

except for meat that comes from animals that were not stunned before

slaughtered  - if i can help it.

so would you have a list of the places that sell it?

i would appreciate that

[debra9275]

make sure you avoid kosher meat, as absolutely none of those animals are stunned before slaughter
