Halal Market in US Hits $16b

April 28, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
The eight million Muslims in the US are spending $16 billion a year on Halal foods, says the Islamic Food & Nutrition Council of America. The market is growing, with non-Muslims seeing it as healthier. Halal means to be sanctioned by Islamic law; the opposite is haram, or unlawful, and mashbooh means a product is doubtful or questionable, and has to be examined. Doubtful products are those with gelatin, enzymes, or emulsifiers, because the origin is not always known.
