For 2 years now, Masterfoods have been working with us to provide a Muslim List. The time has come for the full list to be updated and we have hit a brick wall at Masterfoods. After many phone calls and persistent emails, Masterfoods made it known they werent interested in helping the Foodguide anymore. We spend many hours lobbying, convincing, advising companies, ultimately trying to get the Muslim Consumer the best deal possible. Remember that as well as being a non-profit organisation, all persons taking part are volunteers assisting for the Sake of Allah. Now the spotlight is on you folks! We rely much on Muslim Consumer Power at times like these. I suppose the easiest thing to do is "leave it to someone else". Please don't leave it for someone else - empower yourself. Until they comply, we cannot take anymore queries for Masterfoods whatsoever.

As a Muslim, to eat Halaal is very important. I understand that you no longer liase with the Foodguide UK. As a member of the Muslim community, I must urge Masterfoods to comply with the Foodguide's request for more information. Muslims rely on Foodguide Web-site Halaal issues. For Muslims to have a central, authentic location for Halaal updates is most important. I must insist that your company does comply like scores of major, prominent corporations like Cadbury's, Nestle confectionary and Ice Cream, Lindt Chocolatier, Ferrero Rocher, Terry's chocolates. If I do not see a change in your policy then I am afraid I must consider boycotting your products in favour of those products who have complied like the ones mentioned. I will also urge my friends and family to do the same
I am sure that your organisation will work with the GMWA Foodguide UK to help Muslims consume Halaal.
Please contact foodguide@gmwa.org.uk www.foodguide.org.uk and let me know what your company decides.
Yours sincerely
end
