Halal: an untapped trillion dollar industry.

[SuvarnaTeja]

Kosher Jewish is also halal according the Islamic shariah. Jesus was halal.

Only Jews care about Kosher and Muslims care about Halal. Christians and rest of the world be it Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists etc. care about neither of them. In fact many of the non-Jews and non-Muslims specifically buy food which is non halal/kosher.

Australia is doing the right thing. Most of their export meat is halal.

In the US, almost all lamb available here is halal as it’s from Australia.

Most high-end restaurants in the US serve halal meat (without informing their customers.) There was a large list circulating here in the US listing the high end restaurants who get their grass-fed hormone-free humanely slaughtered meat from halal butchers and farms.

It is very controversial in the US, so many restaurants asked their names to be excluded from that list as they were being bothered by anti-Muslim groups.

What does that mean?

It may be halal but they choose not to put it on the label.

If you saw two products each marked with a halal symbol...but one also has a kosher symbol on it..you may probably choose just the one with the halal symbol out of prejudice.

Extrapolate that to other cultures.

I will eat kosher. But yes, its true.

I think the biggest obstacle is that we need to convince western countries that our produce meets their hygiene standards...

Italian, Mexican, Greek, French, Chinese, Indian etc. - None of these use Halal. When my Muslim friend travels, he is forced to become vegetarian.

Need a Good halal Place in South Carolina ... @KAL-EL @VCheng you guy know any place ?

Every mid-sized town and above will likely have a place. South Carolina is a big state, it depends on where you are planning to go.

Many food manufacturers don't manufacture Halal food, just because either they are hesitant or they don't know what is Halal.

So what is halal(permitted) food:
According to Islamic scriptures, All plant based food, all sea food(exception exists among some schools of thought) and grazing animals(if properly slaughtered according to Islamic method, except for Pig) are considered Halal. Similarly Chicken meat, if properly slaughtered and eggs are also Halal.

The difference of Halal and Haram: Very thin, as far as industrial manufacturing goes.
For example, Lecithin, and emulsifier, is used widely in food industry. This compound can be derived from both Halal(conveniently Plant oils) and Haram(Animal ) sources. Another such compound is glycerin. This compound can also be manufactured both from the Halal and Haram sources.

The trillion dollar Question is: Why most of food manufacturers don't take care of these small things to get their share from the Islamic world's market? Currently some big manufacturers, like Nestle, take care of these small things, and are earning a lot of money from muslim world, almost without any competition.

Note: A product can be labeled Halal, with very few small things taken cared of. So, guys lets put your fears aside, and lets tape an almost untapped market.

Sorry to break your bubble:

So companies in the food industry is gonna have to abandon the world's most consumed meat sector in order to enter the halal market.

This is why the halal market remains untapped.

Theres no pork in indian cusine, not that i know of. There r plenty of dishes in indian cuisine that are readily halal by nature

Where else for latin america, via their inherited legacy from spain, features lotsa pork. Same for Northern europe, Western and Central europe.

China is importing pork from denmark n spain.

Halal is not just about not eating pork. It also includes how the animal is slaughtered. Most of the cuisines and restaurants just get whatever meat they can get. So the safest option is to eat vegetarian. That is what my Muslim friend does when he travels outside India.

Sorry that was a googly.

In France...
Almost Every Fast Food (Multinational or not) are switching to Halal...
Every Brand is getting Halal outlets...
Many Brands are already selling Halal Meat as their regular "Meat source". Without specifying it...
Every Major Slaughter houses are getting a Halal chain... And many adopted "Halal" Slaughter as their main slaughter chain...

Halal is the most economical way to Slaughter and therefore a lower price to resell...

Muslims (at least in France) are among the biggest meat consumers while being a Minority.
Ramadan is almost taking over Christmas in "Selling Power" in France. (Food wise)

Halal is getting more and more available...They just need time to create the complete supply line to answer the growing demand.

And NO... Producers aren't scarifying the "Pork chain"... like some seems to believe...

Doesnt refute my point, because it is way much easier for a company to find Muslim workers to slaughter livestock by halal-defined methods, if thats all it takes to make a product made this way to be certified halal- than it is to not handle swine at all n miss out on the pork sector of the food industry.

A company has to choose whether it wants to miss out on earning revenue from products made from https://www.google.com.sg/search?cl...59.110.2......0....1.........0i71.8qZWZBzVBs4

Or go halal n miss out the above- you cant have both. As far as i know, a company cant sell both non-halal n halal food products at the same time. The Halal certification process explicity defines these.

We are not talking about buying meat in a grocery store. When someone is travelling they most probably eat in restaurants than trying to cook. How many restaurants will have menu which provide halal options? Not many. This is the reason most why Muslims become vegetarian while travelling as that is the least risky option.

Still doesnt still refute my point- at all.

And u've just stated a gravely-erroneus point in your post

A F&B estsblishment cant sell both halal or non-halal dishes/food items at the same time. In order to be certified Halal, it HAS(it is NOT an option, like what u have suggested- for its mandatory)to sell everything prepared/conforming to Halal-defined methods.

So a f&b outlet is either halal or non-halal, never '''both'.

Which is y Im refering to ALL sectors of the halal certification process.

On the vegetarian part:

Also, this is why i said indian dishes, which is a vegetarianism-oriented cuisine with some beef n mutton dishes addes here n there- are readily ''halal' by nature. U stated:

Indian etc. - None of these use Halal.

Yet, then goes on to reaffirm my observation yourself that indian cuisine is already, naturally halal:

the reason most why Muslims become vegetarian when travelling
