Makanan Keluaran Apollo HARAM dimakan?

Kepada semua pengguna2 Muslim,

Saya ingin menasihati anda semua supaya berhenti membeli semua keluaran Apollo Food Industries terutamanya ibubapa yang selalu membeli makanan seumpama layer cake, choco stick dan sebagainya yang selalu keluar iklan di TV . Kejadian ini berlaku kepada saya sendiri.

Saya selalu juga membeli apollo layer cake dlm kuantiti yg banyak untuk anak2 saya sebagai makanan ringan. Anak2 juga selalu mendapat product Apollo setiap kali ada majlis harijadi disekolah (goodie bag yg disediakan oleh parents kepada birthday girl/boy tersebut).

Selama ini saya ingatkan product Apollo ni HALAL sebab keluar kat TV..kalau tak halal, takkan TV boleh lepas ye tak?

Nak jadikan cerita, suatu hari, saya membeli APOLLO CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE yg plastik pembungkusnya berwarna kuning . Anak2 sempat makan sorang satu.

Entahlah, sudah menjadi tabiat saya, suka membaca ingredient yg tertera pada pembungkus makanan, hatta ubat gigi, syampoo dan sebagainya, saya juga suka membaca. Mungkin saya mengambil langkah berjaga2 agaknya.

Tetiba saya terpana bila apa yg saya takuti akhirnya terjadi kepada saya & keluarga sendiri... APOLLO layer cake yg saya beli mengandungi Emulsifier 471, yg kita sudah maklum, mengandungi unsur babi.. Astaghfirullah... Astaghfirullah... Astaghfirullah.. banyak kali saya beristighfar, kerana anak2 saya sudah memakan cake tersebut.

Saya terus memberitahu mereka supaya jgn lagi memakan APOLLO... APOLLO HARAM DIMAKAN !

Saya sertakan SCAN FILE pembungkus APOLLO yg saya maksudkan... Maaflah kerana Black & White kerana saya x ada scanner kaler.

Saya harap kawan2 sume tolong sebarkan kepada jiran2, kawan2 seagama supaya memesan kepada anak2 kita, jgn lagi memakan product apollo ini.. Bukan saja Apollo Chocolate layer cake, tapi kita patut BANNED semua product keluaran APOLLO kerana semua productnya dikilangkan dikilang yg sama, mesin yg sama, bercampur yg halal dan haram...

Yang buat saya paling sedih, Ada logo HALAL pada plastik pembungkus APOLLO tersebut...

Marilah kita sama2 membenteras penipuan ini dan semoga Allah ampunkan dosa2 kita yg  telah termakan benda haram  ni...

Emulsifiers yg HARAM:
120,141,160(A), 161,252,300,301,422,430,431,434,435,436,441,470,471,472
(AE),473~477,481~483,491,494,542,570,631,635,920 beur & RENNET...

Beberapa soaljawab daripada web halalguide:
http://halalguide.org/Beberapa_pengesahan.html

1. Saya mendapat email yg menyatakan product berikut adlah tidak halal kerana mengandungi lemak babi.

1. pringles - potato chips

2. dove - semua product dove

Boleh pihak jakim berikan pengesahan samada product tersebut benar2 tidak halal digunakan oleh org islam..

Terima kasih

Jawapan: Kedua-dua produk dove dan pringles tidak pernah mendapat pengesahan halal JAKIM kerana kedua-duanya adalah barangan import walau bagaimana pun tindakan akan diambil untuk memastikan hal sebenar perkara ini.

2. Banyak masakan pada hari ini menggunakan gelatin. Apakah gelatin halal?

Gelatin adalah bahan yang diperbuat sama ada dari khinzir atau lembu, gelatin yang berasaskan lembu disebut sebagai beef bovine, persoalannya ialah sama ada lembu tersebut disembelih mengikut syarak atau tidak adalah menjadi persoalan utama dalam menentukan kehalalan pengeluaran gelatin. Di Malaysia, JAKIM hanya menerima gelatin yang dibekalkan oleh Sya. HalalGel dan Hagecaps sahaja kerana kedua-dua syarikat ini mendapatkan sumber gelatin lembu yang disembelih mengikut syarak.

3. Assalamualaikum dan saya ingin merujuk kepada mesej yang saya terima tentang yang disampaikan samaada benar atau khabar palsu kerana saya adalah pelanggan tetap salah sebuah cafe tersebut.

Mesej tersrbut adalah seperti dibawah:-

Jangan minum di Coffee Bean dan Starbuck
HALIMAH BINTI HAMZAH PASUKAN PETUGAS PROGRAM MS ISO 9002 JABATAN IMIGRESEN MALAYSIA

Please note that all chocolate, vanilla and coffee drinks at Coffee Bean and Starbuck contains E471 (Emulsifier 471), mono di-glycefides which is from animal origin (pork). Raspberry Frap uses cherries that has been dip n alcohol & the tiramisu contains RUM. Please pass this message to our muslim friends.

Coffee Bean telah mendapat pengesahan halal JAKIM dan telah dipastikan semua bahan yang digunakan adalah halal tetapi Starbuck memang tidak pernah memohon pengesahan halal JAKIM, maka tidak dapat dipastikan kehalalan bahan/produk di tempat tersebut.

4. Assalamualaikum.

Saya ada menerima beberapa email yg menyatakan bahawa untuk membuat sausage ayam, daging dan fish ball supaya kental dan licin ianya telah dicampurkan dengan minyak babi. Apakah penyataan ini benar dan adakah product Ramli Burger dan Ayamas boleh dipercayai? Bagaimanapula dengan fish ball?
pernyataan mencampurkan minyak babi untuk pembuatan sausage ayam, fish ball dan lain-lain adalah tidak benar bagi produk terbabit yang telah mendapat pengesahan halal JAKIM. Bagi produk Ramli Burger dan Ayamas, memang telah mendapat pengesahan halal JAKIM dan kedua-dua syarikat ini sentiasa mematuhi peraturan halal JAKIM.

5. Assalamualaikum,
Adakah produk yang menggunakan logo halal negeri sah digunakan?(seperti produk makanan ringan jenama APOLLO).Saya berasa ragu-ragu kerana setahu saya produk makanan halal akan menggunakan logo halal dari JAKIM, bukan dari Jabatan Agama Negeri.

Pihak yang diberi tanggungjawab untuk mengeluarkan sijil pengesahan halal di Malaysia ialah JAKIM dan setiap Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri. Dengan itu mana-mana produk yang menggunakan logo halal negeri adalah halal dan standard yang digunakan oleh JAIN untuk pengesahan halal adalah sama dengan standard yang digunakan oleh JAKIM.

8. Assalamualaikum,

Tuan, saya sering menerima email yang menyatakan bahawa "These Emulsiers are HARAM , 120, 141, 160(A), 161, 252 300, 301,
422, 430, 431, 433, 435, 436, 441, 470, 471, 472 (A.E), 474, 475, 476, 477, 481, 482, 483, 491, 492, 494 , 542, 570, 572, 635, 920, RENNET IN CHEESE OF ANIMAL ORIGIN IS HARAM TOO UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED." Adakah ini benar? Banyak makanan yang dijual di supermarket mengandungi bahan-bahan di atas.

Satu lagi, terdapat banyak pinggan mangkuk jenis bone china dijual di Malaysia, bolehkah orang Islam menggunakannya, sebab setahu saya pinggan mangkuk jenis ini mengandungi tulang binatang dan jkalau ianya barangan import, adakah tulang yg digunakan datang daripada binatang yang halal?

Harap pihak tuan dapat menjelaskan perkara di atas.

Terima Kasih. Wassalam
assalamualaikum, untuk makluman, bagi bahan makanan/perasa/emulsifier yang bertanda e-coded seperti E 471, E 122 dan lain-lain adalah berkemungkinan ianya haram atau halal dengan merujuk terlebih dahulu kepada sumber yang digunakan dalam penghasilan bahan-bahan tersebut. Merujuk kepada E 471 (bahan emulsifier makanan), ia mempunyai 2 kemungkinan iaitu boleh diperbuat dari bahan yang halal atau haram. Oleh sebab itu bagi sesetengah makanan yang diperbuat di Malaysia, yang telah disahkan halal oleh JAKIM tetapi terdapat penggunaan E471, diharap para pengguna tidak panik kerana JAKIM telah memastikan bahawa bahan tersebut adalah bersumberkan kepada bahan yang halal. Emulsifier 471 boleh diperbuat dari sumber lemak haiwan dan sumber lemak tumbuhan, bagi produk import atau luar negara, pengguna Muslim perlulah berhati-hati kerana tidak ada pengesahan yang dapat dibuat bagi menentukan kehalalan bahan tersebut, tetapi selagi produk itu diperbuat di Malaysia dan telah mendapat pengesahan halal JAKIM, insya-allah produk/bahan tersebut telah dikenal pasti dari sumber yang halal walau pun menggunakan kod yang sama dengan bahan yang dikhuatiri haram.

Assalamualaikum.
Baru-baru ini saya dan rakan-rakan menerima e-mel menyenaraikan bahan-bahan yang dikatakan haram digunakan di dalam makanan terutamanya makanan ringan. Antara bahan-bahannya ialah bahn E-110 dan siri-siri E yang lain. Saya ke pasaraya baru-baru ini dan membelek makanan ringan "Super Ring" keluaran Oriental Food Industries. Bungkusan makanan ringan tersebut mempunyai logo HALAL tetapi di isi kandungan makanan ringan tersebut tertera E-110. Apakah makan ini benar-benar halal? Syarikat yang mengeluarkan makan ini juga tidak tersenarai di dalam nama-nama syarikat yang mendapat sijil hahal dari JAKIM. Diharapkan pihak tuan dapat menyelidik masalah ini bagi mengelakkan lebih ramai orang yang akan terpedaya. Sekian, terima kasih.
E110 adalah kod untuk bahan pewarna makanan untuk warna kuning ( colouring - sunset yellow, orange yellow,yellow 6), ia boleh memberi kesan allergi bagi yang sensitif dengan bahan tersebut. Untuk makluman, sistem E-Coded digunakan sebagai satu sistem antarabangsa untuk food addittive ( bahan tambahan untuk makanan - sama ada ianya adalah bahan perasa, bahan pewarna atau bahan awet) Sebahagian besar food additive ini ada yang bersifat bahan natural seperti garam dan gula, ada dihasilkan dari bahan kimia seperti bahan awetan (sodium benzoate - E211), ada yang dihasilkan dari bahagian tumbuhan dan haiwan ( E471- Mono - and diglycerides of fatty acids, glycerel monostearate, glyceryl distearate - bahan emulsifier, penstabil makanan - boleh dihasilkan sama ada dari lemak haiwan atau pun lemak tumbuhan). Sebenarnya terdapat beratus-ratus bahan tambahan makanan yang menggunakan E- coded dalam industri penghasilan produk makanan. Apabila sesuatu produk/ syarikat yang telah mendapat pengesahan halal JAKIM tetapi tertera mana-mana E-coded pada pembungkusan produk itu bermakna pihak JAKIM telah mengenalpasti bahawa bahan yang digunakan itu adalah bukan dari bahan yang haram, contohnya E471, JAKIM telah mengenal pasti bahawa emulsifier yang digunakan itu adalah berasal dari tumbuhan ( soya atau kelapa sawit ). Selagi produk tersebut adalah produk tempatan dan mendapat pengesahan halal JAKIM, insya-allah bahan yang digunakan itu telah benar-benar dikenal pasti kehalalannya tetapi sekiranya berada di luar negara atau produk import maka perlulah berhati-hati kerana JAKIM tidak membuat pemeriksaan ke atas bahan-bahan yang digunakan itu. Boleh jadi ianya adalah dari bahan yang haram atau syubhah.

May I Borrow RM 25?

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'
MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.

SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make RM 50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head d own .

SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow RM 25?'

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The woman sat d own and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed d own , and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that RM 25 and he really didn't ask for money very often . The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.

'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the RM 25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Mummy, I have RM 50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The mother was crushed. She put his arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that RM 50 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
Please don't break this even if you only send it to one person. Thanks

Rice is the culprit!

No wonder diabetes patients are avoiding to take rice.

Eat Less Rice!
The human body was never meant to consume rice! You see,
our genes have hardly changed in more than 30,000 years.
However, our food choices and lifestyle have changed
dramatically. The caveman would hardly recognise our food or
way of life.

Caveman food was never cooked as fire was not yet tamed.
Thus, he ate only those foods that you can eat without
treatment with or by fire. He ate fruits, vegetables, fish
(sushi anyone?), eggs, nuts and meat. Yes, even meat. You
can even eat meat raw if you were starving in the forest.
You have the necessary enzymes to digest meat.
However, rice, like wheat and corn, cannot be eaten raw. It
must be cooked. Even if you were starving in the desert, you
cannot eat rice in the raw form. This is because we do not
have the system of enzymes to break rice down. You were
never meant to eat rice. To make matters worse, you not only
eat rice, but also make it the bulk of your food.

In some parts of Asia, rice forms up to 85% of the plate.
Even if you take rice, keep it to a minimum. Remember, it is
only for your tongue - not your body. Actually, rice and
other grains like wheat and corn are actually worse than
sugar. There are many reasons:

Rice becomes sugar - lots of it!

This is a fact that no nutritionist can deny: rice is
chemically no different from sugar. One bowl of cooked rice
is the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar. This does not
matter whether it is white, brown or herbal rice. Brown rice
is richer in fibre, some B vitamins and minerals but it is
still the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar. To get the
same 10 teaspoons of sugar, you need to consume lots of
kangkong-10 bowls of it.

Rice is digested to become sugar.

Rice cannot be digested before it is thoroughly cooked.
However, when thoroughly cooked, it becomes sugar and spikes
circulating blood sugar within half an hour-almost as
quickly as it would if you took a sugar candy. Rice is very
low in the 'rainbow of anti-oxidants. '

This complete anti-oxidant rainbow is necessary for the
effective and safe utilisation of sugar. Fruits come with a
sugar called fructose. However, they are not empty calories
as the fruit is packed with a whole host of other nutrients
that help its proper assimilation and digestion.

Rice has no fibre. The fibre of the kangkong fills you up
long before your blood sugar spikes. This is because the
fibre bulks and fills up your stomach. Since white rice has
no fibre, you end up eating lots of 'calorie dense'
food before you get filled up. Brown rice has more fibre but
still the same amount of sugar.

Rice is tasteless-sugar is sweet. There is only so much
that you can eat at one sitting. How many teaspoons of sugar
can you eat before you feel like throwing up? Could you
imagine eating 10 teaspoons of sugar in one seating?

Rice is always the main part of the meal. While sugar may
fill your dessert or sweeten your coffee, it will never be
the main part of any meal. You could eat maybe two to three
teaspoons of sugar at one meal. However, you could easily
eat the equal value of two to three bowls (20-30 teaspoons)
of sugar in one meal. I am always amused when I see someone
eat sometimes five bowls of rice (equals 50 teaspoons of
sugar) and then asks for tea tarik kurang manis!

There is no real 'built in' mechanism for us to
prevent overeating of rice:

How much kangkong can you eat?
How much fried chicken can you eat?
How much steamed fish can you eat?
Think about that!

In one seating, you cannot take lots of chicken, fish or
cucumber, but you can take lots of rice. Eating rice causes
you to eat more salt.

As rice is tasteless, you tend to consume more salt-another
villain when it comes to high blood pressure. You tend to
take more curry that has salt to help flavor rice. We also
tend to consume more ketchup and soy sauce which are also
rich in salt.

Eating rice causes you to drink less water. The more rice
you eat, the less water you will drink as there is no
mechanism to prevent the overeating of rice. Rice, wheat and
corn come hidden in our daily food. As rice is tasteless, it
tends to end up in other foods that substitute rice like
rice flour, noodles and bread. We tend to eat the hidden
forms which still get digested into sugar. Rice, even when
cooked, is difficult to digest.

Can't eat raw rice? Try eating rice half cooked.
Contrary to popular belief, rice is very difficult to
digest. It is 'heavy stuff'. If you have problems
with digestion, try skipping rice for a few days. You will
be amazed at how the problem will just go away.

Rice prevents the absorption of several vitamins and
minerals. Rice when taken in bulk will reduce the absorption
of vital nutrients like zinc, iron and the B vitamins.

Are you a rice addict? Going rice-less may not be easy but
you can go rice-less. Eating less rice could be lot easier
than you think. Here are some strategies that you can pursue
in your quest to eat less rice:

Eat less rice-cut your rice by half. Barry Sears, author of
the Zone Diet, advises 'eating rice like spice'.

Instead, increase your fruits and vegetables.
Take more lean meats and fish.
You can even take more eggs and nuts.

Have 'riceless' meals. Take no rice or wheat at
say, breakfast. Go for eggs instead.

Go on 'riceless' days-Go 'western' once a
week.

Take no rice and breads for one day every week. That
can't be too difficult. Appreciate the richness of your
food. Go for taste, colours and smells. Make eating a
culinary delight. Enjoy your food in the original flavours.

Avoid the salt shaker or ketchup. You will automatically
eat less rice.

Eat your fruit dessert before (Yes! No printing error)
your meals.
The fibre rich fruits will 'bulk up' in your
stomach. Thus, you will eat less rice and more fruits.
It's your life. Decide what you want to eat!
