Falsehood 3: The halal status of Gardenia products in Sabah is questionable.

The Truth: Gardenia Bakeries (KL) Sdn Bhd [GBKL] and Gardenia Sabah are two different companies and they are not related. These two companies have totally different policies, management and operational systems.

All products manufactured by GBKL are certified halal by JAKIM. It’s internal halal committee, formed in 1994, continuously monitors and scrutinizes every aspect of halal issues. The committee is given full authority pertaining to halal and syariah matters.
