List of Halal Confectionaries	Permalink

A bit too long but useful nonetheless..... source: http://www.gmwa.org.uk/foodguide2/viewquestion.php?foodqid=108&catID=2&compID=2 Question: Please can u advise me whether Mars CELEBRATIONS are Halaal? I have heard that certain sweets such as galaxy, galaxy caramel,bounty.. are not permissable for muslims to eat. We would like to thank you for the great confidence you place in us, and we implore Allah Almighty to help us all to serve His cause and render our work for His Sake. Hereunder is the response to your query subject to disclaimer: If you wish to contact Masterfoods yourself to confirm, then feel free to let me know and I will provide you with a freephone contact number. Masterfoods would not answer specific questions but provide this list to all vegetarians. Hereunder is the response from Masterfoods with our comments: Alcohol Status: "None of our products contain alcohol (I.e. ethyl alcohol). We do use iso-propyl alcohol as a solvent in some of our flavourings, e.g. in SKITTLES, STARBURST, TUNES and LOCKETS. This is widely used in the food industry, but it is not ethanol, the spirit in intoxicating liquors. As iso-propyl is volatile, the majority is lost during manufacturing."

Thank you for your recent telephone call requesting a list of products from our current range which are suitable for vegetarians.

If we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. Regards Consumer Care Advisor ------------------------------------------------------------------ [FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ON OUR CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTS] [What is the origin of the gelatine present in some of our products?] The gelatine we use is derived from pork. Clearly, products containing gelatine are not included in our vegetarian suitable lists. [What is the origin of the glycerol (E422) you use?] It is of vegetable origin. [Is the whey powder present in your chocolate suitable for vegetarians?] Currently, products made in the UK contain whey powder from suppliers who use rennet approved by the UK Vegetarian Society. Products made in our factories on the continent contain whey powder from suppliers who use rennet of calf origin: these products, therefore, are not included in our vegetarian suitable lists. Products containing whey powder which are made on the continent but sold in the UK are: BOUNTY, SNICKERS Cruncher, FUNSIZE MARS, FUNSIZE SNICKERS, FUNSIZE MILKY WAY, standard size and twin MILKY WAY, MILKY WAY Crispy Rolls, GALAXY Caramel Swirls, M&M's Peanut, TWIX Kingsize, Miniatures products (including CELEBRATIONS) and chocolate covered ice creams. The products listed on the previous page as being suitable for vegetarians are all manufactured in the UK. Occasionally, however, we import some of these products from our factories on the continent. The imported products will not be suitable for vegetarians. These bars can be identified by the letter after the best before date, for example 27-07-02 N 5C. Bars made in the UK can be identified by the letter U after the best before date, for example 27-07-02 U 5C. We would suggest that you check the best before date to ensure that the product is manufactured in the UK. [What is the origin of glycerol monostearate (E471)?] It is of vegetable origin. [What is the origin of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (E476)?] It is of vegetable origin. [What is the origin of the food colouring Carmine (E120)?] Carmine is a natural red colour extracted from the bodies of insects (Dactilopius Coccus).

var wv=new Bl(window.document, "FldA"); document.write(wv.getReadModeHTML()); if(BPX) wv.hide(); var wv=new Bl(window.document, "FldA"); document.write(wv.getReadModeHTML()); if(BPX) wv.hide(); WASHINGTON, August 3 - Closing loopholes in protections against mad cow disease, the Food and Drug Administration yesterday banned brains and other cattle parts that could carry the disease's infectious agent from use in cosmetics and dietary supplements. The action puts the agency's restrictions in line with those issued by the Department of Agriculture to keep those cattle parts out of meat after the brain-wasting disease was found in December in a Holstein cow in Washington state. The ban affects products made from animals 30 months of age and older, the age in which the government has said the brain-wasting disease can be found. The restrictions prohibit the use of the brain and spinal cord, where the misshapen proteins blamed for mad cow disease are considered most likely to be found. The banned parts from the older animals also include skulls, eyes and nervous system tissue close to the spinal cord. However, the use of tallow, a processed fat made from cattle, will still be allowed provided it carries less than 0.15 percent impurities, which could include proteins. Tallow is used in cosmetics, but FDA has said the high heat and pressure used to make it should minimize any risk of having mad cow infectious agent in tallow. Also banned in cosmetics is any material from cattle that cannot stand on their own. Since January, those animals cannot be used for meat, but they can be sent to rendering plants, which produce tallow. The FDA directed manufacturers and processors that use prohibited cattle parts to immediately switch to alternative ingredients. Mad cow disease is also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE. People who eat meat containing the proteins, known as prions, face a risk of contracting a rare but fatal human condition, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Here's the bad news: Cow brains may be an ingredient in your lipstick. The good news? The FDA is banning it. The Food and Drug Administration has told cosmetics makers they can no longer use brain and spinal cord tissue from older cattle in lipstick, hair sprays, and other products, reports The Associated Press. The fact that they were used at all will likely surprise millions of women who use these products daily. And that's not the only surprise: The new FDA regulations still allow use of these animal tissues in cosmetics as long as they come from younger cattle. The ban on cow brains and spinal cord tissue from cosmetics is aimed at preventing a fatal human variant of mad cow disease, called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, from reaching people. Also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, mad cow disease causes the brains of infected animals to waste away. There is no cure for animals or humans. "While the risk is small, if there does happen to be an ingredient from a BSE-infected cow, the consequences would be incredibly drastic," Rachel Weintraub, assistant general counsel of the Consumer Federation of America, told AP. She noted, for example, that sprays could contain animal protein that could be inhaled. If you want a complexion that glows, take your vitamins by eating the right food. --------------- http://www.rense.com - zs var wv=new Bl(window.document, "FldA"); document.write(wv.getReadModeHTML()); if(BPX) wv.hide(); __________________ Sabar menanti hari ....

Berhati-hati tentang makanan..	Permalink

1. Jika anda makan satay.............jangan pula lupa timunnya, sebabnya memakan satay bersama karbon yang terhasil selepas pembakaran akan mendatangkan kesan karsinogen! Apa bendanya karsinogen tu? (Ianya ialah suatu keadaan yang menyebabkan barah). Timun pula adalah anti-karsinogen, 2. Jangan makan udang selepas mengambil pil vitamin C !! Yang mana anda akan mati keracunan Arsenik dalam beberapa jam sahaja. 3. Cuba yang ni.....bagi penggemar makanan ni "Bah Kut Teh" (babi). Banyak orang Cina suka makan yang ni, lihatlah sebelum terlambat. Cuba tuangkan Coke ( minuman bersoda) atas kepingan daging babi tu dan tunggu sekejap, anda boleh tengok ulat berenyut-renyut keluar dari sana.Fakta diperolehi dari "Health Corporation of Singapore" 4. Barah -akibat penggunaan bahan dalam shampoo. Balik rumah dan pergi periksa. Tukarlah ke jenama lain sebelum terlambat, jika kandungan dalam shampoo anda mengandungi Sodium Laureth Sulfate atau ringkasnya SLS. bahan ini akan menyebabkan barah dalam jangka masa yang panjang dan ini bukannya jenaka. Shampoo yang disahkan mengandungi bahan ini ialah; Vo 5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, L'Oreal, Hemp Shampoo terbaru keluaran body shop, Nature Force dan lain-lain lagi. Balik pi lah belek sendiri kandungannya. Shampoo Clairol's Herbal Essence adalah satu-satunya yang mengandungi Sodium Laureth Sulfate secara tunggal. Meskipun pertanyaan telahpun dibuat terhadap syarikat ini dan jawapan dari mereka ialah, " Ya memang kami dah tahu masalah ini tetapi kami tidak boleh melakukan apa-apa kerana kami memerlukan bahan yang boleh mengeluarkan busa yang banyak. Dalam pada itu, Pasta Colgate & Dee Dee (untuk kanak-kanak) turut mengandungi bahan yang sama untuk penghasilan busa. 5. Kepada penggemar makanan jenis mee segera (tak kiralah maggi, koay teow dsb), Pastikan berhenti makan dulu sekurang-kurangnya 3 hari selepas mengambil mee segera sebelum mengambil paket yang seterusnya. Maklumat yang dikongsi bersama dengan seorang doktor. Keluarga saya telah menghentikan pengambilan makanan ini setelah mendapat tahu berkenaan salutan wax keatas makanan ini. Inilah yang menyebabkan mee segera tidak melekat antara satu sama lain apabila dimasak. Telah dinyatakan terdahulu melalui SEORANG AKTOR dari SBC (sekarang ni dikenali sebagai TCS). Beberapa tahun lalu, yang mana kariernya membuatkan beliau sangat sibuk untuk memasak, jalan mudah mengambil mee segera setiap hari. Kemudiannya beliau disahkan menghidap barah. Barahnya disebabkan wax dalam mee segera. Doktor juga memberitahu yang badan manusia memerlukan 2 hari untuk membersihkan wax dari sistem badan. Seorang lagi mangsa yang serupa ialah Pramugara dari SIA yang mana setelah berpindah dari rumah ibunya ke rumahnya sendiri, Dia tidak memasak tetapi kerap makan mee segera. Dia didapati menghidap barah dan mati selepas itu. Sekarang ini tindakan memakan mee segera bolehlah diistilahkan sebagai "makan untuk mendapat barah" Kalau istilah James Bond = Licence to kill! 6. Bawang Goreng segera. Seorang kawan melawat ke sebuah perusahaan kecil membuat bawang goreng, dan melihat terdapat banyak straw minuman. Yang bewarna dan tidak bewarna diasingkan. Apa yang?mengejutkan ialah straw yang tidak bewarna dicampur bersama gorengan bawang yang bertujuan apabila plastik straw tersebut dipanaskan, ianya melebur lantas menyaluti bawang tersebut. Sebab itulah kalau bawang goreng segera yang dibeli terdedah kepada udara tak akan lembik tapi kalau kita buat sendiri lembik dalam masa yang singkat sahaja. Sebarkanlah maklumat ini kepada orang-orang yang anda sayangi dan pengguna yang masih belum disedarkan lagi. Sumber:Kariah Surau Ladang" __________________ Sabar menanti hari ....

It's always important to ensure that what you're consuming aligns with your dietary preferences. While Mars Celebrations might not be suitable for some, have you considered incorporating HGH into your routine? I've found it incredibly beneficial for overall well-being and energy levels. If you're interested, you can check out more information about it at https://www.hghworld.top. It might complement your lifestyle nicely!
