“Vadilal uses beef flavour in its ice cream, so the packaging displays a Halal certification mark.”
What FACTLY found
Vadilal has clarified that their products are entirely vegetarian and that packs with Halal certification are intended solely for export markets. Moreover, Halal certification does not indicate that the products contain beef or meat. Instead, it means that food production, processing, and trade adhere to Islamic principles, which apply to both non-vegetarian and vegetarian foods.
