Halal drink
Halal drink
From Republika
Based on the letter by Agus S. in the daily Republika of Oct. 5, 1994, the Institution of Food, Medicines, and Cosmetics Study of the Islamic Council of Ulemas (LP POM MUI) deplores the way PT Coca Cola Company carries out promotion drives for their drinks, particularly Sprite, through the mosques. It should be noted that the company has not yet applied for a certificate certifying that Sprite is halal (acceptable according to Islamic religion).
Actually, we have tested Sprite in several places. We regret to state that test result shows that Sprite contains alcohol.
