MACDONALDS McDonald’s announced in the 1990’s that it changed its frying oil from animal fat to vegetable oil for those who are vegetarian. However, it turned out that this information did not turn out to be completely true French fries are fried slightly in animal fat then frozen and shipped to all the McDonald’s stores for the final frying The following information was announced on the Arabic BBC channel Basically, what they do is they cut the potatoes into slices and then coat them with a thin layer of lard (pig fat) or cow fat so that when it is fried it will crunch. Then these fries are shipped to McDonald’s stores in different parts of the world including India and the Arab countries. Mc Donald’s apologized to the Indians after receiving complaints, since a good number of Indians do not eat anything that has ingredients derived from animals. And of course no apology has been made to the Arab countries.
So in summary, Mc Donald’s fries is coated with a layer of either cow fat or lard (pig fat which is thicker and cheaper) then shipped to all Mc Donald’s stores over the world, which is then fried in vegetable fat.
Please alert all those you know of this information.

The Muslim Judicial Council(MJC) hereby unequivocally states and confirms that all chickens slaughtered at MJC certified farms are halaal and suitable for Muslim consumption.
The MJC is a body of Ulema which has been involved with the halaal certification of foods for Muslim consumption for over 60 years and conducts its slaughtering procedures according to strict Islamic guidelines. As a leading and experienced global halaal certifying Islamic organization, the MJC continues to be consulted by international Islamic organizations about halaal operations and procedures abroad.
We therefore take strong exception to baseless allegations by the unknown, newly established “Scholars of the Truth”, which is led by their counsel Zehir Omar, who made public appeals to South African Muslims to refrain from consuming chickens certified by MJC.
We also take exception to the fact that Zehir Omar who claims to be the spokesperson for the “Scholars of Truth” takes it upon himself to label all chickens haraam and thereby creating unnecessary confusion in this community.
We declare once again that all our halaal operations are conducted under the strictest halaal requirements.
End.
