Halal Foods

The first time I heard of  Halal certified food was when I joined this really famous US based food supplement company and our products are Halal Certified. I was yet in College when its market here in Cagayan de Oro sprouted. And I was not really mindful of what it meant. All I know is that when it's Halal, our brothers and sisters in the Islamic faith approves of  Halal certified products. Over the years, I believed it plainly to be so, until I read a few more readings and one could even get updated on Halal certified food and products in Facebook. Learning more about Halal Foods is a great thing. It's a cultural thing really, as well as religious. If we learn the basis for such then we shall be more tolerant of each other in this world.

Today, as I mentioned that you can get information about Halal Foods in Facebook, and as I went through the page, I saw that Miss Janette Toral founded it, so it's definitely a good informative place online.  I even found a link to the website, www.halalcertifiedfood.com, and of course, I didn't only like it, I am very much thankful for such a site. 

With pages and this new site I discovered, I am now able to identify which foods are Halal. A great help since my family sometimes entertain friends who are practicing Islam. And even though Halal had been coined a long time ago, we often have limited our food choices as to fresh fish, vegetables and beef only. For as long as we do not serve them pork, we feel we are good. With the site, as more information shall be in place, I am sure we will be able to find many more choices, including canned goods and many others.

By the way, if you know of a company, or if you own a company and your product is Halal-certified, then I suggest that you contact Miss Janette Toral and give the following information:

Company name:

Your product:

Your website address:

Where and when was your Halal certification issued:

Of course, you will be able to find more information if you visit the site or LIKE the page at Facebook. Surely, it will be a one-stop-shop for information about Halal Certified foods and products.. Thanks Miss J..
