Umat Islam di negara ini perlu mempunyai perasaan 'cemburu' terhadap orang bukan Islam yang menjadi pengeluar produk gunaan halal dengan berusaha menceburi bidang perniagaan itu berbanding hanya mengkritik saja.

Kosher or Halal? American Muslims Debate Which Certifications To Follow


Back in the 1950s, most American Orthodox Jews read food labels to determine if the food they were buying was kosher. They stayed away from foods with ingredients like gelatin and lard, which are derived from pigs. If the vegetable shortening was listed as pure, it qualified as kosher. Today, Orthodox Jews search for kosher symbols on food packages to determine if the food they are buying is kosher, because reading ingredients has become an inadequate method of determining a food’s kosher status – with globalization and new food technologies, consumers don’t recognize many of the ingredients. Substances like soy lecithin, a common ingredient in processed foods, are unfamiliar to many lay people, and processed foods can be contaminated with traces of other non-kosher products processed in the same plant. Organizations like the Orthodox Union and Star-K use their expertise in Jewish law and food technology to certify hundreds of thousands of products worldwide.
American Muslims are trying to develop their own rules for determining which foods conform to Islamic religious strictures. Food prepared under Islamic law is deemed halal, meaning lawful or permitted. The halal-certification industry began to develop in the 1990s, according to Maria Omar of the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America, an organization based in Chicago that was established 28 years ago and is recognized by Islamic organizations around the world.

Study needed on food stamps


PUTRAJAYA: The food stamp programme needs further study to ensure that it is an effective way to help the poor and the lower-income groups,Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.
He added that an in-depth study would enable the programme to meet its objective.
“We want to have the best approach to counter the rising cost of living.
“If we want to introduce the programme, a more in-depth study is needed because it is targeted at those earning RM3,000 and below.
