Yap..it has to be halal period. No compromise on that. Thankfully, in Toronto..ya have got lots of halal restaurants. Even then..i confirm with the source and check the certification.

I’ve heard this before - That even the non-halal restaurants have at least a few things on their menu for Muslims… Meaning most restaurants offer at least something halal.

My question about this, are these halal dishes cooked in different pots/ pans than non-halal foods? Are they served in different dishes? Are the stored in different coolers/ fridges?

What are some steps we should/ could take to avoid unknowingly consuming haram foodie foods?
If its a local bakery product, it is easier to verify the source.
If its a Halal restaurant,** I check zabihah.com** and also check their certificate and ask about the supplier of each meat.

I love zabihah.com! I have their app installed on my phone. A few quick taps and you get an almost immediate “yes” or “no”.

There is always a 1800 number at the back of the products available on the shelves in grocery stores.

Absolutely. Last year we bought a frozen turkey from a company that claimed to be zabiha halal. I called the 1-800 number to make sure it was hand slaughtered and not machine.
