The halal certification of meat in pre-packed sandwiches has sparked debate. According to Jakim, the halal certification only applies to the meat used, not the entire product. This means that even if the meat in a chicken ham and cheese sandwich is certified halal, the sandwich as a whole may not be. This clarification is crucial for Muslim consumers who prioritize halal food, and it highlights the importance of checking the halal certification of entire products, not just individual ingredients. Halal food, food certification, and Muslim consumer awareness are essential considerations.
