What do you think of the Orthodox Union

:salam2:

I dont know how many of you have heard of this group, but its a Jewish organization that certifies food whether they are kosher or not.You may recognize their Kosher symbol by U with a circle around it.I was wondering can Muslims easily see that symbol and conclude that its also halal ? Do kosher and halal have same standards ?

Just trying to be cautious !
Thanks Bros/Sis !

Yes, the organization is pretty reliable on most counts, and the Kosher food products are generally Halal. Just be careful to still read the ingredients though, because I think sometimes some products are Kosher but they might have alcohol/gelatin in them.

Edit: I came across a site that mentions that Jews don't mention the name of Allah on the slaughter? Is this true? Can anybody confirm because this is the first time I'm hearing of this.

Edit: Islamqa says its fine for muslims to eat Kosher: http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/103701/kosher
