Vendors Reminded To Sell Halal Food
By Azlan Othman

Bandar Seri Begawan - As food vendors are mushrooming throughout the country, selling various delicacies for people to break the fast, the religious authority responsible for the 'Halalness' of food items that are sold urged those selling meat products to keep receipts of purchase to facilitate officials during inspections.

Canned products made from meat, which are not certified yet by Brunei's Islamic Religious Council, should be segregated from those already certified as Halal by the Council, said Head of Board for Issuing Halal Import Permit, Dato Seri Setia Awg Hj Abd Rahman.

"To glorify the holy month of Ramadhan and to show respect to Muslims who perform the obligatory fasting, food vendors in the country must ensure that the food sold to Muslim customers are Halal as approved by the Council," he added.

Officers from the law enforcement of the Halal Food Control Division of the Syariah Affairs Department accompanied by other enforcement agencies will carry out inspections during the holy month to ensure that food and drinks sold at Ramadhan food stalls are Halal.

He said cooperation from the vendors on this matter in glorifying the holy month will be highly appreciated. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
