Islamic Food Law to Take Effect
July 1, 2006
Muslims will be able to make sure that the food they buy conforms to the dietary laws of their religion under a state law that takes effect next Saturday. The new law will be discussed at a news conference by the Islamic Political Party of America Virginia Central Committee on Monday at 2 p.m. at the Bell Tower in Capital Square, 900 Bank St. The general Assembly adopted legislation this year that was known as the "Halal food"; sponsored by Del. Kenneth C. Alexander, D-Norfolk. The bill requires businesses to verify that foods advertised as halal have been prepared in accordance with Islamic dietary requirements.
Businesses that advertise halal food must include notice of a website and telephone number to verify their legitimacy, according to Musa Abdus-Salaam, a local representative of the Political Party of America. The law will incorporate existing state law for foods prepared in the Jewish kosher Manner.
