HERE I COME! Research complialtion.

Opening

If the emulsifiers contains the ingredient of pork fat, then i would like to tell you that it is not only in Coffee Bean and & Star Bucks alone but in all the ice-cream and potato chips u can think of.

If however, seeing that the HALAL is posted outside these two outlets said to have been serving porks, don't you think they are rather contradicting themself?

the Emulsifier 471 - Source: cow, pig, egg, animal milk, vegetable

Knowing that the fact we live in a Muslim country (as declared by the 4th Prime Minister in the early years), these companies would have done their research knowing the fact that they should respect their Muslim consumers.
However, if proven that they used the Emulsifier 417 from the course of pork that you are able to summon/sue Coffee Beans & Tea Leaf SDN BHD for breaching the food law act.

findings

As stated above, the emulsifier 471 may also contain cow fats. and the use for this formula is for the oil and water to able to mix together forming the subtance, hence you have your ice-cream, milky candies and potato chips.

If the company do so continue to add its pork fats instead of cow fats into the formula, then by do so remove the sign halal from their products.

Conclusion
Then again, it is still arguable about what type of animal fats is in it. Coffee bean & Tea leaf has been in Malaysia, where their first outlet was in Johor in the early 1990's, they have a halal sign stated in their outlet.


But then again, it is up to you to decide.

I'm betting this is palm oil derived.

Would be more cost effective than pork fat.

well, this was explained to me a while ago...well, originally it was jsut called animal fats, and because it was ambiguos as to what type of animal fat and how it was acquired, products containing them didnt sell well. It seems that as well as the muslims in the world believe that it wasnt 'HALAL', the Jewish ppl also didnt believe them to be 'KOSHER' (which is the jewish term for Halal for them).

Now that pretty much left only a very limted market for the product, and sales of items containing 'ANIMAL FAT', if any of you guys remembered some foreign products on Malaysian shelves, were pretty bad. Most of the muslim Malaysians growing up in foreign countries would of probably heard the cliched 'It has animal fat! dont eat it!'.

..so they ambiguosly code named it E471.

A loophole they sorta abused as required by FDA to state all ingredients within a product, but stated that information of E471 is readily available to be 'looked-up' for those concerned.

Right, whos gonna look it up.

If im not mistaken, it was originally classified as vegetable fat, before it was reclassified as animal fat but still assuming the same code. Clever huh?
I had some cross referenced articles in my comp a while ago, but i think ive deleted them all. Hahahaha...bende lain simpan.

well thats all i remember, and my sister is buggingg me like mad pegi pasar Ramadhan.
