All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama (ACJU) says that it will remove the Halal logo from local products and will issue the Halal certificates free of charge only for exporters.

Addressing a press conference in Colombo with the participation of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce and a group of Buddhist monks led by Ven. Bellanwila Wimalarathana Thero, the ACJU said that although the Halal logo will not be displayed on Packs after end of the exhausting of stocks, companies can continue to obtain them voluntarily as the ACJU will continue to issue Halal certificate free of charge.

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce also confirmed that all Sri Lankan producers will no longer carry the Halal logo on their products unless requested by the foreign consumers.{jcomments off} ( Hafeel Farisz, Lahiru Pothmulla)

That is good. Have special shops for Halal food. The slaughter of cattle and poultry need to done in a human manner, not the way it is done today.

Ha...Ha..Ha, Thanks

Then how do we identify whether it's Halal or not? ACJU has forgotten it's purpose.... Atleast should give some guidelines on what to eat and what not to eat....

On Poya days selling fresh meat is prohibited, but sea food is freely available in poya days too.Why this is so?

anybody can ask their mom or dad what to eat and what not to eat

Kadira Monday, 11 March 2013 05:20 AM
