I never said Aldi milk had a halal label, I said I thought I saw on their website that it was certified and then later corrected myself. I was rushing out the door to an appointment when I checked and must have linked to the wrong website.
An interesting read written this year by a British Muslim

interesting to see who is behind the anti halal hysteria trying to destroy Aussie businesses, so one of them is a former One Nation person, remember One Nation - the mob that were screaming about Asians taking over Australia not that long ago. They too have jumped on the anti halal - anti Muslim un Australian campaign. Now this goose is in restore Australia who were involved in the campaign against construction of a Mosque in Bendigo - $10,000 they donated....mmmmm, what a sad bunch of haters.
A campaign of misinformation
But James Mathews, spokesperson for the Australian Food & Grocery Council, tellsSmartCompany halal certification is undertaken by accredited religious organisations, all audited by the Federal Police.
“This campaign is one of misinformation,” says Mathews, who likens the certification process to gaining ‘organic’ status for a product.
El-Mouelhy says Halal Certification Australia is Federal Police checked and audited at the “will of the government”.
Khan argues the agenda behind the social media campaigns is to create a phobia against Muslim people.
“It has nothing to do with halal, it’s an excuse for phobia against the Muslim population,” he says.
He says it is the responsibility of the federal government to stop the campaigns, and if they do not, the Australian economy will suffer.
“It can have repercussions in the importing countries that Australia at large is anti-Muslim.”
“Businesses should not be bowing to this kind of pressure – it is only a handful of people. Most Australians are sensible and can make their own choice.”
But Holt claims those businesses that “stand up” to halal certification will see an increase in domestic business.
“When they stop certifying halal, their business will expand,” he says. “What I would say [to a company with halal certification] is first of all, you are pandering to 2.2% of the population. You need to work out, what sort of business do you want?”
Holt says small, local companies such as The Fleurieu Milk and Yoghurt Company have already had offers of business from interstate customers who support their decision to axe certification.
But Fleurieu sales and marketing manager Nick Hutchinson yesterday toldSmartCompany the company’s move to let go of its certification was not because it supported the anti-halal movement.
“There’s people who think we’re making a stand against halal, and we are not, that’s not why we’ve done it,” says Hutchinson.
Icy, if you feel so strongly about this subject then why were you recommending Ben & Jerry's icecream? It's Halal Certified.
