Iconic Swiss chocolate becomes Halal to conform with Islamic purity law
Voice of Europe ^ | 12/18/18

Toblerone, the iconic triangular shaped chocolate bars have been made halal to meet the demands of the Islamic market.

The change, that silently took place in April this year, has now been revealed to Swiss newspaper Blick. Owned by the American food company Mondelez, all Toblerone bars are being produced in the Swiss city of Bern.

A spokeswoman of the company explains to Blick that since April the sweets comply with the Islamic purity law and ingredients and production now meet halal standards.

She says the “Toblerone’s original recipe remained unchanged”. She justifies the change with Toblerone’s status as export product: 97 per cent of the bars are exported to other countries.

Specifically the halal certification means that the production process must be inspected and approved by imams as being in line with Islamic standards

Halal means animal cruelty.

But you’ll never hear the PETA bullies breathe a word of that.

They only bully those-who-can-be-bullied.

I am of the opinion that Christians should NOT consume ANYTHING that is “halal” but especially halal meats. In order for an animal to be categorized as halal, it must be sacrificed using the utterance of the Islamic prayer Bismillah. In my opinion, that means the animal has been sacrificed to an idol.

1 Corinthians 10:28 NIV
But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.

Yeah....

This stuff is now dedicated to "Allah" during the making process. And the groups that do the Halal certification have often been found to be donating to terror groups behind the scenes.

Translation:

"production process must be inspected and approved by imams" = Pay offs received in good order

it must be sacrificed

Let's get down to brass tacks.

Sacrificed = The animal has it's throat slit and dies a slow and painful death screaming in agony.

Does that mean the Chocolate has to be killed in a certain way?

Well I'll not ever buy one again. Aint gonna eat nothing prayed over by a satanic savage.

Why would an infidel eat something made by someone sworn to murder them?

Just about anything without meat or alcohol in it is likely to be halal, right?

They're getting some imam to certify that the chocolate is halal, as rabbis certify that it's kosher, without changing anything in the recipe.

Islam allows something as enjoyable as chocolate?

How’d that slip through the cracks?
