Pauline Hanson claims victory over Islamic halal certification battle
Pauline Hanson has hailed the decision of two major breakfast cereal makers to withdraw from halal certification as a sign that companies are responding to public pressure.
Kellogg’s and Sanitarium no longer pay to have their products certified by an Islamic business to indicate that their products contain no pork or alcohol and the food is approved for consumption under Islamic religious rules.
Kellogg’s has now denied it changed its halal policies and removed the branding from Corn Flakes, as a result of public pressure. Nestle no longer has halal certification applied to its chocolate bars, including Kit Kat, unlike its rival Cadbury.
Meanwhile Sanitarium said it had never needed to use halal certification symbols for their products in Australian or New Zealand , saying it had only paid the fees to export their products to 35 other nations.
At earlier this year, One Nation Senator urged Australian people to stop buying halal-certified products, which she said were “financially supporting the Islamisation of Australia”.
She said those corporate decisions were a win for 'all those fighting to free Australians from having to pay extra to the halal certification scam' which funds mosques, Muslim schools and religious activities.
'One Nation has kept this issue alive and tried to educate people about unnecessary halal certification so it's great to see progress being made,' Senator Pauline Hanson told.
Pauline Hanson said in a released video in the led up Easter is “One of the biggest complaints I have had since being elected is about halal-certification and it was my promise to you that I would do something about it."
