Wisdom needed in food labeling<\/p>\n
From Bisnis Indonesia<\/p>\n
After reading some advertorials in Media Indonesia and
\nBisnis Indonesia about halal (permitted according to Islamic
\nreligion) and nutritious food (Nov. 19, 1996), I became confused.<\/p>\n
The reason was that the ads did not clarify the matter
\nconcerning halal labels on the one hand and the halal labels
\nprinted by Peruri on the other.<\/p>\n
As far as I know, such labels are printed on the original
\npackage of the food products in line with a license or
\ncertificate issued to the producer.<\/p>\n
There is no relation to sticker printouts by Peruri. We are
\nafraid that this is just a veiled effort to commercialize food
\nlabeling, as was the case with liquor and cigarettes, to the
\ndisadvantage of manufacturers.<\/p>\n
As a citizen, my observations of irresponsible parties who are
\nmanipulating the Food Bill, drafted to protect Indonesian Moslem
\nconsumers, only brought concern.<\/p>\n
Food labeling in countries mentioned in the advertorial, such
\nas Australia, Malaysia and Singapore, is not done with stickers,
\nas in our beloved country.<\/p>\n
