How to check if a product is halal in Australia?

To check if a product is halal in Australia, look for certification labels from trusted halal authorities, such as Halal Australia. You can also review the ingredient list to ensure it doesn’t contain non-halal items like alcohol or pork-derived products. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer or consult an official halal certification body for confirmation, consult the halal food directory.

Is Halal and Kosher the same?

While both Halal and Kosher are religious dietary guidelines, they have distinct requirements. Halal follows Islamic law while Kosher follows Jewish law. While there are some similarities, such as the prohibition of pork, there are important differences in the blessing practices and specific food regulations.

Are vegan and vegetarian options Halal?

While plant-based foods are generally Halal, at El Jannah we certify all our ingredients – including our vegan and vegetarian options – to ensure they’re prepared without any non-Halal ingredients or cross-contamination. This includes checking that all additives and processing aids are Halal-compliant.

A Halal diet follows Islamic dietary laws and includes:

Properly slaughtered meat from permitted animals
No pork or pork products
No alcohol or intoxicants
Only Halal-certified ingredients At El Jannah, our entire menu is designed to meet these dietary requirements.

Is Halal food blessed by an Imam?

Halal food doesn’t need to be blessed by an Imam specifically. The blessing (tasmiya) must be performed by a practicing Muslim during slaughter. At El Jannah, our meat is slaughtered by certified Muslim professionals who perform the required blessing during the process.

Is gluten Halal?

Yes, gluten is Halal as it’s a natural protein found in wheat and other grains. However, some gluten-containing products might contain non-Halal ingredients during processing. At El Jannah, all our products containing gluten are Halal certified, including our bread and other wheat-based items.

Is your chicken salt Halal?

Yes, the chicken salt we use is specifically Halal certified. Unlike some commercial chicken salts that might contain non-Halal ingredients, we ensure our chicken salt meets all Halal requirements and is certified along with all our other seasonings and spices.
