Davis Gelatine is Halal Alhamdulillah

[UmmNRZ]

SO where can I buy this? I went safeway yesterday but couldnt find it.

[AmeenahY]

I got mine at Safeway.

[UmmNRZ]

Yeh I even asked the guy to come look and he said we don't stock it. They only had the Mc'kenzies one.
Do coles have it?

[domaap]

i got mine from coles. i suppose it really just depends which store you walk into... some do stock it and some dont

[jah]

salams,

How do we know if it's Davis gelatine? Where on the product should the label be? ingredients bit where it says gelatine or where?

[SN]

The gelatine being referred to here is the one you buy in packets to use when you make your own cheesecakes etc. The brand is "Davis". You find gelatine in the baking section of the supermarket usually.

If you mean lollies etc where gelatine is listed as an ingredient, there is no such thing as it saying it is Davis brand or what not. If that is what you mean?

[jah]

yes sis thats what I meant Thanks a lot for clarification! It's a pity I can't find any snakes with halal gelatine as in lollies i mean lol

[aussiemu]

jah: If I remember correctly there is a lolly factory in Broadmeadows that you can buy halal lollies including snakes from.

[jah]

address pls?

A sister posted it on another forum a while ago so I hope the times are still relevant:

Betta Factory 25 King William St, Broadmeadows, open Wednesday to Friday 10.00 am - 4.00 pm

Also if I remember correctly I read somewhere that the Natural Confectionery Company (I think that's the name) used halal beef gelatine as their gelatine. You could contact them to ask them to confirm though.

Assalamu alaikum,

With regards to the Natural Confectionary Company i emailed them and they rang me back confirming that all their products contain halal gelatine but they havent gone ahead with halal certification due to costs involved.

[Hope]

Salamu Alaikum

So what do we do??? Do we take their word for it?

And exactly what costs are involved lol

[UmmRashid]

assalamu alaikum,

i dont know exactly what the costs involved are, but she seemed to think it was quite a bit.

[aussiemu]

assalamu alaikum

Companies have to pay to get halal-certified to put the 'halal' label on the actual packet. I don't know how much it costs though.

You can ask for a copy of their halal gelatine supply info or certificate.

wassalamu alaikum

[jah]

salam alaykum,

UmmRashid, thank you so much for that info. You made my day! Can't wait for tomorrow to do my confectionery shopping lol

Assalamu alaykum
If anyone is interested I supply halal gelatine. The gelatine is from Pakistan and is 100% halal. I haven't got halal certification locally yet because I'm still in two minds about it. Do I really need certification or is the product being from Pakistan good enough?(Halal certificate provided from Pakistan). I would really appreciate any feedback on this.

JazakAllah kheir

Does anyone know what gelatine is exactly?

Gelatine is gelatine.. i dnt understnd how that can be halal???

[Ruyaa]

oww.. umm as much as i know, gelatine is made from animal fat :/
(but like all types of animals)

[cheesegirl]

Gelatine is gelatine.. i dnt understnd how that can be halal???

It is made from animal products, so as long as the animal they got the parts from was slaughtered properly and is halal to eat then so is the gelatine.
