• KUALA LUMPUR - The Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim)

advised consumers not to use foreign fish products.

• This is due to the instant ingredient of instant rice that is sold in the package made
from python meat.

• Jakim said in a statement that the product label manipulated overseas halal logos
recognized by JAKIM, The Central Islamic Committee of Thailand (CICOT).

• "For information, based on feedback received by us from CICOT, the product has
received halal certification from them since 2012.

• "However, the product is no longer the holder of the CICOT Halal Certificate. And
the issue is still under the Thai court's jurisdiction over the issue of expired halal
logo, "the statement said.

• Add that statement again, users are advised to avoid using the product until the
case investigation is over.

• Any questions regarding viral and halal status can be reviewed at

Members of the public are advised to buy ice cream products that have the

linked to the forbidden material and most often misinterpreted was E471.

additives (additives) and is always used on food labels in the European Union
