SAVE AND HALAAL FOOD

Muslim community now consider about save and halaal food. The word halaal has the base meaning of good or nice. In those areas featuring significant Muslim communities, many restaurants, including fast food chains, either offer halal options or adhere only to halaal guidelines. This may also include offering certified halal foods such as dairy products.

Save and halaal foood according to syar`i refers to how Islamic dietary law guide about the criteria save and halaal food based on Al Qur`an and Hadits. All food is halaal except term as haraam or forbidden. A variety of substances are considered haraam (forbidden), including: pork, blood, animals slaughtered in the name of anyone but Allah, carrion, carnivorous animals with the exception of most fish and sea animals, and all intoxicants. A section of the Muslim community believe animals living in "both worlds" (land and water) are considered haraam; for example, frogs.

Save and halaal foood according to technology refers to the critical point of food technology include the source of food especially meat, the process (animals slaughtered) and variety of additive and contaminant. Muslims often have difficulty following Islamic dietary laws for three reasons. The first is the absence, or scarcity, of restaurants and grocery stores that offer halal food, especially meat, in those areas where there is no large Muslim community. The second is the abundance of pork products used in meal. Finding pork, ham, and bacon on the menu creates a problem. While Muslims will not order a pork dish, they may be concerned about "cross contamination"; for example, using the same kitchen knife to cut up pork and then cut up fish or beef. Pots and pans might be used continuously in a busy kitchen: a chef cooking fried rice with pork might then use the same pan for fried rice with chicken (with only a quick rinse of the pan or none at all). Also, many apparently meat-free recipes, and even desserts, contain pork gelatin. The third concern is the frequent use of alcohol, especially wine, in cooking sauces and cakes, though some contend that this is not a concern so long as the alcohol has been thoroughly burned off. There are also other concerns about food additives such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) that might use enzymes derived from pig fat in the production process. It is very difficult to avoid such food additives as they would not normally be declared on the menu.
