Assalaamu alaikum WW,

www.foodguide.org.uk is an invaluable service run under the guidance of Hadhrat Mufti Abdullah Sahib (D.B). to help ensure muslims are able to eat halal foods.

Recently, Walkers Ltd have said that they will no longer be working with the Foodguide in providing them the information they require to make a decision on which products are halal.

Therefore, I would urge everyone to please phone/email them to register their dissatisfaction and politely but firmly ask that they work with the Foodguide and provide them with the necessary information.

For more information please see:

and

Here is the email that Foodguide have sent out to all - please pass on to everyone else and ask them to support Foodguide:

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,
*Background:*
For nearly 8-9 years Walker's have been working with us to provide a
Muslim List. The time has come for the full list to be updated and we
have hit a "brick wall". We spend many hours lobbying, convincing,
advising companies, ultimately trying to get the Muslim Consumer the
best deal possible. Remember that as well as being a non-profit
organisation, all persons taking part are volunteers assisting for the
Sake of Allah.

Now the spotlight is on you folks! We rely much on Muslim Consumer
Power at times like these. I suppose the easiest thing to do is "leave
it to someone else". Please don't leave it for someone else - empower
yourself. *Until they comply, we cannot take anymore queries for
Walker's Products whatsoever.

As a Muslim, to eat Halaal is very important. I understand that the
Foodguide UK is awaiting specific data from your company. As a member
of the Muslim community, I must urge Walker's UK to provide the
Foodguide's request for more information. Muslims rely on Foodguide
Web-site Halaal issues. For Muslims to have a central, authentic
location for Halaal updates is most important.

I must insist that your company does comply like scores of major,
prominent corporations like Kp Snacks, Pringles, Ferrero Rocher,
Nestle , . If I do not see a change in your policy then I am afraid I
must consider boycotting your products in favour of those products who
do. I will also urge my friends and family to do the same.

I am sure that your organisation will work with the GMWA Foodguide UK to
help Muslims consume Halaal.

Please contact www.foodguide.org.uk and let me know what your company
decides.

Yours sincerely
