Personal impact<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Consumers may not be aware that they are buying Halaal.\u00a0 It should be a matter of personal choice however it is not always easy to see whether a product is Halaal certified as the\u00a0 icons can be very small.\u00a0\u00a0 Consumers are unaware which products are Halaal.\u00a0 They are just not really given a choice as all the well known brands are Halaal certified and are left with few alternatives.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Economic impact<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

It is said that Halaal certification does not affect product prices.\u00a0 However companies have to hire extra Muslim staff, get extra Halaal compliant production plant space, make use of Halaal friendly transport and more.\u00a0 These costs add up to large sums which impacts product prices and also the consumers\u2019 pocket.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Religious impact<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Unknowing consumers are forced to subsidise a religion that directly and very publicly apposes their own.\u00a0 There is also the aspect that Halaal foods are dedicated to Allah and this apposes other belief systems.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Businesses <\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Businesses are also impacted by the Halaal certification industry. Extra care must be taken to be certified.\u00a0 Cross contamination must be prevented, extra plants must be added, extra Muslim staff are required to ensure that standards are met.\u00a0 Halaal transportation must be used and then there is still certification costs that need to be paid, all at extra costs which diminishes profit which is then made up to by the consumer.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

There are currently 4 Halaal certification agencies in South Africa:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

@\u00a0 Muslim Judicial Council Halaal Trust<\/p>

@\u00a0 National Independent Halaal Trust<\/p>

@ The Islamic Council of S A Halaal Trust<\/p>

@\u00a0 South African National Halaal Authority<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The following brands are not Halaal goods:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

SPAR branded goods; Christian Friendly branded products; Most imported items unless specified on packaging.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>
