Wall's Ice Cream In Malaysia Is Halal


Paddle Pop Rainbow Peak Ice Cream contains additives E471 and E407 are Halal.
Reference is made to a recent circulating e-mail alleging that our Paddle Pop Rainbow Peak Ice Cream contains additives E471 and E407 which are said to be gelatine and originated from haram materials.

Regarding the allegation, first of all, we would like to reiterate that none of our ice creams contain gelatine. Both E471 and E407 are emulsifier and stabilizer respectively, and are not related to gelatine.

E471 is a code given to mono and diglycerides, a group of emulsifiers which can be derived from plant or animal sources. As with all of other Wall’s Malaysia ice cream, we use only plant-based emulsifiers. On the other hand, E407 is a code given to carrageenan, a plant - based stabilizer.
Unilever Malaysia wishes to clarify that all Wall’s range of products sold in Malaysia are Halal certified and meets the requirement of the Muslim community. For products manufactured in Thailand, which includes this ice cream, they are certified Halal by The Central Islamic Committee of Thailand (TCICOT), a local Halal certification body recognized by JAKIM.
Wall’s also source its ice-cream from Indonesia, China and The Philippines - all of which receives Halal certifications from Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), China Islamic Association (CIA) and Ulama Conference of The Philippines respectively. These are all JAKIM’s accredited Islamic bodies overseas.

At Unilever, we respect the religious beliefs and practices of all consumers, and are sensitive to the needs and varying concerns of all our consumers. We take great effort to ensure that these needs are being met in the best possible manner.

Wall’s Ice Cream In Malaysia Is Halal
We refer to the letter dated 7 August 2007 by Mr Timothy Neville, Consumer Care Advisor of Wall’s United Kingdom (UK) in response to a consumer from Reading, United Kingdom, on the suitability of Wall’s products for Muslims and vegetarian, which has been circulated via email.
The letter, which contained a list of Wall’s products, has understandably raised concerns over the suitability of Wall’s products in Malaysia.

We would like to clarify that the list provided by Mr Neville in the letter for the consumer is intended for the UKmarket only, as different regions around the world would cater to different consumer market. For Malaysia, we source our ice cream locally and from Indonesia, Thailand and China. We do not import from UK or anywhere else in Europe.
All Wall’s range of products in Malaysia are halal certified and meets the requirement of the Muslim community. Wall’s Halal certifications are obtained from Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) and The Central Islamic Committee of Thailand (TCICOT), Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) and China Islamic Association (CIA), who are all JAKIM’s accredited Islamic bodies overseas.

We respect the religious belief and practices and are sensitive to the needs and varying concerns of all our consumers. As a company, we take great effort to ensure that these needs are being met in the best manner possible.

For further enquiries on this matter, please feel free to contact our Consumer Careline at 1800 88 1315.

so memandangkan Nestle produk penyokong pertubuhan Zionis, so kalau sape2 nak makan ice cream bolela cuba walls. tapi kalau rajin buat sendiri sahaja. ice cream asam boi. sedap aper.
