An independent body established to interrogate the Muslim Judicial Council Halaal Trust’s halaal certification processes has urged members of the public to submit recommendations to the panel.
The Independent Halaal Review Panel was established after the Muslim Judicial Council called for its certification processes to be reviewed by an independent group.
This followed a scandal when a meat distribution company, Orion Cold Storage, was dragged to court over allegations that it had relabelled imported pork products as halaal. The panel will investigate the halaal certification process and make recommendations to improve its overall performance.
On Wednesday the panel’s chairman, Haroon Kalla, said the community should make written submissions to the panel. These would be taken into consideration when the panel made its report. – The Mercury
