How Can I Ensure That The Halal Cake I Purchase Is Truly Halal?

A rising issue for many parents shopping for nursery and preschool's birthday cakes for their children these days is identifying if the cakes and bakery are halal certified or halal friendly. People are becoming more conscious of their dietary choices, and in schools, there are different races and religion to consider the vast dietary requirements in a classroom of 20 to 30 children. 

For example:

• Muslim would require Halal Certification to verify the source of food that they are eating is safe for their diet.
• For a vegetarian, they may or may not consume eggs in their plant-based diet. Generally, Hindu vegetarian does not consume eggs.
• For some other children, 1 or 2 may have nut-allergy, another may have dairy allergy or egg allergy. 
• Gluten allergy or intolerance are not so common among Asian children but common in the western countries.

So the schools would want to know if the cakes parents buy or allow their children to eat in school, would meet the halal requirements, along with a full spectrum of other dietary restrictions each classes may have.

Thankfully, at Delcie's, we ensure we are a one-stop solution for all these dietary requirements. Now equipped with Halal certification, parents who intent to celebrate their children's birthdays in school will no longer have headaches trying to find one that fits all kids. 

Here are some tips for you if you are wondering how to know if a product is Halal.

Recognizing the Halal label

This label indicates that the product has been certified as Halal, often through rigorous testing. Here's what you can do: First, look for the Halal mark on the product itself. If you see it, you can be confident it's certified Halal and safe to purchase. If there's no Halal mark, check the ingredients for any animal-derived substances. Make sure they come from Halal sources before deciding to buy. And if you can't find a Halal label on the packaging, don't hesitate to ask the seller for clarification.
