Yep, Oreos are halal now.

For those idiots who don't understand how certain things can be halal; its about the way these certain things are made...ways which now the westerners are adapting too(because these ways have other plus points too).

butter - ie cows milk.... how is that NOT halal?

Come on MJ, you know how to kill an Oreo.... first you take it apart, then you lick the creamy centre, then you stick it back together, then you dunk it in the milk and drown it;-P

I've never seen them..then again I've never looked for them. Assuming they aren't Halal cause of the lard in the cream in the middle or in the cookie.

By mjamille28• 16 Jun 2010 13:42
mjamille28

they're not? I've seen Oreos here in Lulu and Carrefour...
