Halal labels

Halal labels

From Media Indonesia

I am a Moslem student and the halal (permitted by Islam) label
question has come to my attention. I support the Indonesian
Council of Ulemas' (MUI) idea of label standardization, which
would serve as a sieve sifting good material from the bad. This
would be the only way, according to MUI, to ensure success and
would not disappoint Moslems.

We have come to the conclusion that if the label policy was
successful, the use of one label type could be introduced which
would be no problem to the public.

I personally support MUI's idea that the right to produce
halal labels should be given to a competent party, MUI in this
case, since it is related to Islam.

If seen from the context of the program of creating perfect
Indonesians, I believe that we are going in the right direction.
Development and growth of a perfect people are not only based on
a nutritious diet, but also depends on what we are permitted to
eat. We are concerned about the future of the younger generation,
who might develop into a "degenerated" breed, due to their
failure to find halal food.

We also hope that the President would agree with the
standardized labeling idea for permitted food, so that the
Indonesian Moslem community will not be disappointed.
