Mars Red Dot in Square

Mars Red Dot in Square = Pork / Gelatin?
Red Dot inside A Red Square Symbol Which Shown On Chocolates


Shown On Chocolate Bars Like :
Bounty Chocolate Bar
Mars/ Snickers ...
It's Shown Specifically At The Back Beside The Weight Numbers.
What does it really mean?
Instead of using our overactive imaginations let us leave it to the manufacturer to do the answering:


Statement on “red dot” label on Mars chocolate products in Egypt:

Mars products always comply to the legal and cultural norms of all the markets it does business in. Mars products, including Snickers, Bounty and Mars bars do not contain pork nor pork derivatives. Mars products are exported to a number of markets, of which India is one; the red dot that may appear on some of our packaging is a legal requirement for the Indian Market. It indicates that the product may contain egg, which is not suitable for some vegetarians in India. Still, to further clarify the matter, we are currently completing the process of separating the packaging for the two markets which will minimize future misunderstanding.

Halal infant iron drops

Looking for Halal infant iron drops / syrup.There seems to be only two choices for canadian manufactured iron supplement in liquid form.

Trying to avoid Enfamil Fer In sol drops since it has alcohol in it:

Enfamil Fer in sol - Syrup
Each 5 mL of syrup contains ferrous sulfate 150 mg (equivalent to 30 mg elemental iron). Each teaspoonful contains 5 mL. Nonmedicinal ingredients: artificial flavouring, citric acid anhydrous, purified water, sodium bisulfite, sodium chloride, sorbitol solution, sugar, and sulfuric acid. This medication does not contain alcohol. (great!)* Seems ok. anyone have any info to add regarding Enfamil Fer in Sol syrup is welcome...

PELAFAR INGREDIENTS
Capsules
Each scarlet capsule, printed "PALAFER" in white ink on the body and cap, contains ferrous fumarate M.D.I. (micro dispersible form) 300 mg representing 100 mg of elemental iron. Nonmedicinal ingredients: D&C Yellow No. 10, FD&C Red No. 2, FD&C Red No. 3, FD&C Yellow No. 6, gelatin, lactose, povidone, sucrose, talc, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, and sodium lauryl sulphate(Dangerous).

Toronto Popeyes not HALAL

A group of Muslim restaurant franchisees is fighting fast-food chain Popeyes Louisiana Chicken in court over the right to sell hand-slaughtered Halal meat for religious reasons.

The battle in Ontario Superior Court comes after the Atlanta-based franchise moved to replace the chicken supply with machine-killed birds in 14 Toronto restaurants. The company says it’s still Halal-certified; the franchisees claim the machine method is against the beliefs of a majority of Muslims.
“If I begin selling machine-slaughtered chicken, I will immediately lose an enormous segment of my customers,” reads the sworn affidavit from Abdul Haffejee, who owns eight Popeyes in the GTA.
Haffejee, who donates Popeyes chicken to mosques and sponsored Muslim Day at Canada’s Wonderland, said between 50 and 80 per cent of his customers are Muslim.

“All of the members of the Muslim community that I have worked so hard to attract will be gone instantly. They cannot be replaced,” he said in his affidavit, claiming tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars at stake.

Walker's Snacks 2011 *Removed


Last Updated: 03/08/2011
02/08/2011

In response to your E-mails, Walker's has emailed through a vegetarian and alcohol freelist . Interestingly enough, it was due to the confusion that these lists caused, that Walker's liaised with us as far back as 2005 to produce a list of products which were suitable for Muslims, according to Islamic Fiqh principles. In the past, this has been a simple enough task for Walker's to complete, and you the Muslim Consumer benefitted. This is no longer happening.

Suffice to say, these lists are not sufficient enough for us to make a decision. As we have said, we do not charge one penny for this service, and so apart from serving the Muslim Community, we really don't stand to benefit financially whatsoever. 

We would urge you to contact Walker's again, and request them to provide us the information, in the format we require, and provided to us in the past. We would then be able to serve the Muslim Consumer, and Walker's can demonstrate thet they really do care for the Muslim consumer.    

July 2011 
Walker's (Quakers) has informed us that they will be unable to provide an update to the Foodguide.  Based on this information, henceforth we will be unable to field any queries regarding Walker's and Quavers products.

We do not charge Walker's (or any other company for that matter) even 1 penny for investigating, checking, and featuring their products.  We feel that this is a service in which both companies, and Muslim Consumers mutually benefit.  However, responsibilty lies on the part of the company to provide accurate and timely product updates, otherwise the objective is defeated.  We feel Walker's has failed dismally in this regard.  On the other hand, we have observed KP Snacks which has more products (so more time in completing information for Foodguide Services) have not only been timely, but keen to serve Muslim Consumer's needs.

GMWA Foodguide is an 'Ulamaa co-ordinated, non profit organisation that serves UK Muslims.  Our decisions are based on Islamic Jurisprudential rulings, which we apply to the detailed information provided to us.  As we have mentioned earlier on, no fees are taken for these services from  participating companies. 

Walker's have a list of "certified Halal" Walker's products.  We, however don't rely on other organization's certification, but decide on suitability of products according to Shari'ee criteria. For a start, they are not qualified to make the decsion as to what is Halaal or not.
We recommend the following KP Snack company as they have provided the latest updates:
2011-07-30 : KP Snacks 2011

http://www.gmwa.org.uk/foodguide2/index.php?page=viewquestion&id=188

If you feel stongly, you may contact Walker's Direct to liaise with us to provide a list for yourselves:

Aborted Babies in Food !!

Biotech company using cell lines from aborted babies in food enhancement testing

Updated: 03/29/11 at 4:16 pm.

LARGO, Florida, March 29, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pepsico, Kraft Foods, and NestlĂ© are among the corporations partnered with a biotech company found using aborted fetal cell lines to test food flavor enhancers, according to a pro-life watchdog group. 

The internationally recognized biotech company, Senomyx, boasts innovation and success in “flavour programs” designed to reduce MSG, sugar and salt in food and beverage products.  Senomyx notes their collaborators provide them research and development funding plus royalties on sales of products using their flavor ingredients.

Pro-life watchdog group, Children of God for Life (CGL), has called upon the public to target the major corporations in a boycott, unless the company ceases to use aborted fetal cell lines in their product testing.

“Using isolated human taste receptors,” the Senomyx website claims, “we created proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems that provide a biochemical or electronic readout when a flavor ingredient interacts with the receptor.”

“What they do not tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 – human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors,” stated Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director for CGL, the watch dog group that has been monitoring the use of aborted fetal material in medical products and cosmetics for years.

Orange juice only? think again!

 This piece is taken from "The 6 Most Horrifying Lies The Food Industry is Feeding You"

#5. Zombie Orange Juice








Quick, name the most healthy drink your nearest store has to offer. You said orange juice, didn't you? It's what everybody makes you drink when you get sick. Hell, that s@$t must be like medicine or something. And the labels are always about health benefits -- the cartons scream "100 percent natural!", "Not from concentrate!" and "No added sugar!"

"Less than four thumbs per gallon!"




















And why not believe them? When it comes to making the stuff, orange juice isn't sausage. You take oranges, you squeeze oranges, you put the result in a carton, with or without pulp. End of story, beginning of deliciousness.

But what if we told you that "freshly squeezed" juice of yours can very well be a year old, and has been subjected to stuff that would make the Re-Animator puke?

 Dear

 Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us.

 We work hard to ensure each and every one of our products is perfect in every way?your feedback helps us do just that. We would like to inform you that the only animal ingredient in the "add water" cereals is the milk. Skim milk powder is used with a modified fat profile because it better suits baby's nutritional needs. The fat profile is modified by replacing milk fat (as we do for Follow-Up formula) with a blend of vegetable oils designed to yield a fatty acid profile which better meets the nutritional requirements of the infant at this stage of life. The fat quality and quantity has been formulated to promote growth and development.Compared to formula it is very similar to the modified milk used in Follow-Up formula and most milk-based starter formulas.

 The "Add Milk" cereals do not contain any animal ingredients. If the ingredient is not listed and there's no warning you can be assured it will not be in the product.

The fat quality and quantity has been formulated to promote growth and development.Compared to formula it is very similar to the modified milk used in Follow-Up formula and most milk-based starter formulas.

 The "Add Milk" cereals do not contain any animal ingredients. If the ingredient is not listed and there's no warning you can be assured it will not be in the product.

Blessing, Gewurzmuller launch organic and Halal cultures

Frutarom-owned Gewurzmuller is introducing new organic starter cultures for raw sausage and raw cured meats, and has announced that all the food cultures made by its Blessing Biotech arm are now certified Halal.

Meat flavour and seasoning producer Gewurzmuller was one of seven companies acquired by Israeli firm Frutarom in 2007, and the deal included Blessing Biotech which produces starter cultures used in fermentation of micro organisms and enzymes, mainly for the dairy and bakery industry.

Gewurzemuller says that, with Blessing it has an advantage in being able to make its own starter cultures, as it can offer optimally matched seasonings and starter cultures from a single source.

The new organic cultures, called Bitec Organic GM-1 and Bitec Organic SM-96 use organic sucrose as the medium and do not use any genetically modified or genetically engineered raw materials throughout the process.

Tang gets halal certification (Phillipines)

MANILA, Philippines - During the recent conference held at Marco Polo Hotel in Davao, Kraft Foods, the second largest global food company, unveiled a present for our Muslim brothers and sisters in Mindanao. The company revealed that Tang has gained the halal certification of the Philippine IDCP Islamic Da’wah Council of the Philippines (IDCP).
“Even before this event, Kraft Foods has been very supportive of our organization here in the Philippines,” says lawyer Abdul Rahman Linzag, IDCP president and secretary-general of the World Halal Council. “And with Tang’s halal certification, our brethren will now enjoy a delicious and refreshing drink that has passed the strict IDCP guidelines for halal certification.”
Tang is already halal-certified by the Central Islamic Committee of Thailand — the only Islamic organization in Thailand duly authorized to conduct halal certification and accreditation. However, with IDCP’s accreditation, Tang can now pride itself on a seal that is globally-recognized by halal certification bodies and Muslims alike.
