Halal Updates



IMPORTANT NOTICE

Halal (Arabic: حلال‎ ḥalāl, "lawful") is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term is used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law (Sharia, الشريعة الإسلامية). The opposite of this word is haram.


The Management of L Providore Sdn Bhd, the operator for Hailam Kopitiam, Putra Nilai would like to assure all our Muslim customers and stress that apart from the guidelines given by Islamic Food Research Centre Asia (IFRC Asia) and Hailam Kopitiam, HQ our licensor, at ALL TIMES we adhered in all our ways to the following principles in this outlet.

• Alcohol and pork products are NOT permitted including pork lard, ham and bacon.
• For processed foods to be Halal, they must be free of alcohol and pork, and must not have come into contact with either of them during the manufacturing process.
• For meat and poultry to be Halal it must be slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines.
• Food cannot touch or be contaminated in the storage or preparation process with meat that has not been slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law.
• The Halal logo or the Halal symbol indicates that only Halal certified products are contained in the product.
• All effort is made to ensure our suppliers adhered to the Halal Food Preparation & Supervision based on above guidelines.

Please be informed that we together with Hailam Kopitiam, HQ are in the midst of applying for new halal logo under the new Trade Descriptions Act (ADP) 2011. This is in line with the recent announcement by our Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom that said that premises using old halal logos must replace them with the standardised logos issued by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) and state religious councils.

We will update you accordingly and meanwhile we would like you to be assured our Muslim staff at this outlet has been instructed that compliance of the above be adhered accordingly.

Once again we take this opportunity to thank you for your continuous support.
