ALERT!Alert! Animal products in plates/cups-Halal allows beef

[Guest guest]

Just an alert to the alert.

FYI Halal (Islamic)- does not allow ONLY Pork/Lard products but OK's other=

 

animal fat

i.e Horse (glue), Beef, Hoofves of animal, Hair/Furs, poultry etc. are all=

owed

to be Halal certified

(Unsure if this is same for (Jewish) Kosher " Certified " )

 

So if u really are Veg*n- you may look into this aspect
