Do you think there is a real benefit in certifying your food store halaal?

Depends on your customer base - I can assure you that 80% of the population will buy their fish next door if your shop is in Durbanville, Cape Town.
You can get certified but the really strict will not frequent you unless the store is run by a moslem person.
Another problem is that peopel perceive halaal food as not as tasty - I am presuming you want to use halaal meat for your burgers. Also vienna and russians are out of the mix(pork)

DISCLAIMER The above is merely a comment in discussion form and an open public arena. It does not constitute a legal opinion or professional advice in any manner or form.
My family and I absolutely point blank REFUSE to buy ANY halaal certified foods or food products. In a country where ONLY 1.5 percent of the population is muslim, I cannot see why I am subjected to having to purchase these products. The certification is NOT FREE, and the costs (R5,000 - R10,000 per month for a take away food store) is paid by the customer, and I refuse to fund any terrorist organisation in any manner whatsoever!!
There are plenty of alternative products which also do not contain pork or pork products (my family does not eat pork), which can be purchased without the halaal certification.
If the halaal certification was (as claimed) merely the maintenance of certain hygiene standards, then please explain the whole repackaged chicken fiasco that was exposed over December... these chickens & chicken products were all past their sell by dates, and merely repackaged in new (mostly halaal certified) packaging, and returned to the shelves... Hygiene my a*&e!!!
It is merely a method of fund raising to send "relief packages" to active terror groups such as Hamas, PLO etc.!!

You don't have a choice?
If they're forcing people to buy Halaal at gunpoint then that would make it a terrorist organisation :-)
Seriously though why so uptight about Halaal? The number of outlets selling Halaal would by market driven and it's your choice to buy it or not.

May be you are true but If they really a Muslims they never do such kind of thing because Islam has very strict roles about halaal food.
What about terrorism where it’s come from this thread is about halaal Food so stay on topic.
Please allow me to illustrate people's ignorance of other cultures by quoting this true story.
A young lady goes to a shop at lunchtime to buy take-away food. She sees a notice on the cold meats counter stating "not kosher". Without hesitation she asks for the manager and starts grilling him for selling food that is "off". By this time a crowd had gathered to see what the commotion was about.
After allowing her to rant, he softly answered; Lady, the sign only means that the food has not been approved for our Jewish clientèle."
Needless to say that she was chosen "Wally of the Week" at their next staff meeting.
Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...
I think you never taste the Halaal Food. It is very tasty and healthy food because Every Halaal food is totally hygienic and it has its own taste.
@deetee - and we are the most intelligent beings created by God - tec0 - dude, you are mistaken, big time...Shows you hey, the human mind often spills the garbage that goes around in it...
Muslims are terrorists - you watch too much American TV - Muslims are 10 x more devout that the those that are Gods gift to the earth.
No I'm not a Muslim - I am a realist.
