Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 It is my understanding that some of the Muslim dietary restrictions accept the parve foods bc of their not having the forbidden foods or combinations of foods. That's all I know. Kosher Diet Forgive my ignorance on this matter, but just today I have had a Muslim client request a Kosher Diet. Does the Muslim faith follow Kosher standards also? What research I have done does not indicate that this is what is followed. The diets seem somewhat similar, but the Muslim faith seems a lot less restrictive. Any websites or information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 To my knowledge, from pts, Muslim MDs and growing up with Muslims around me, Hallal applies to the slaughtering of the animal. Otherwise, Hallal allows them to eat everything but pork. and even if the food was prepared without pork, but was cooked in a pan/pot that pork was cook in before - its not hallal any more and won't be acceptable. But yes, other then pork and the slaughtering by an Imam, they have no other restrictions. They do eat milk with meat products and eat shellfish. Speaking of which - Ramadan is coming, so if any of you have Muslim pts - remember NOT to serve their meals during the day time.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 This thread reminded me that I have heard Muslims at the church food pantry chanting " no pork, no shortening. " Until today I never looked into why no shortening. There are more foods they avoid due to the possibility of pork in the ingredients. It appears diglycerides are suspect until it can be proven what they originate from.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 true, and gelatin, which used to be from animal source (pork) i not accepted, but in this case, if it is labeled Kosher, it will be accepted by Muslims b/c it will mean it dose not contain pork product/derivates Merav Levi-, RD, MS, CDN Clinical Dietitian 8235 134th Street Kew Gardens, NY 11435 > >Reply-To: rd-usa >To: <rd-usa > >Subject: Re: Kosher Diet >Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2007 14:07:03 -0400 > >This thread reminded me that I have heard Muslims at the church food pantry >chanting " no pork, no shortening.
