Sigh...yet another company to add to my boycott list for pandering to the muzlim minority (less than 5%). Read: MINORITY! WTF is going to happen when they're a larger minority or majority?
I guess we "indigenous" North Americans(the majority by 95-99%) need to learn to whine, threaten & intimidate and maybe someone will listen to us too.

From Campbell's website:
"These products are certified by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the largest non-profit, religious, educational, and non-political Islamic organization in North America. ISNA's Halal Certification Program was established in conjunction with professionals in the field of Islamic foods and nutrition, and with Islamic scholars.
The program includes the review of ingredients, formulas, manufacturing and sanitation processes.
Our Halal-certified products have been chosen specifically to suit the flavour preferences of the Muslim community.
In the coming months, all our Halal-certified products will have the ISNA logo directly on their labels, so you can easily identify them at your grocery store.
You can find our Halal-certified products at all major grocery stores.
We are very excited to offer these products and hope you enjoy them with peace of mind."
Posted by: when*pigs*fly | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 06:22 PM
In response to this I wrote them the following.
If there is going to be an ISNA logo directly on your label, and you are going to associate with such an organization, you can bet I will NOT buy anything from Campbell's again. I will happily buy store brand anything. I've boycotted numerous names due to their affiliation with abortion, you will just be another name to add to the list.
Posted by: Meghann | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 06:30 PM
I will be boycotting all so-called Halal foods. When a food is designated Halal, it means that the food is acceptable for Muslims to eat. That means that in many cases, processing of foods is changed to make it acceptable for Muslims, including how animals are slaughtered, the elimination of alcohol, pork, etc, in the ingredients, the reciting of the Bismallah during certain processes, etc. That means the food has been made acceptable to the requirements that Islam's idol named allah has set (via the Quran and Hadiths). In other words, it is food that has been offered and made acceptable by an idol. For me, that makes all Halal food unacceptable because the partaking of this food means validating a false god.
Acts 15.28 "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 15.29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well."

I just sent this message to Campbell's:
I am deeply shocked by your choice to offer Halal soups. The organization which certifies Halal is ISNA, and is tied to the Hamas terrorists. It is nice that you support a religion which wants to destroy the Constitution of the United States, and has murdered an estimated 270 million people over the centuries. I will never buy Campbell's soup, Pace, Pepperidge farm, V8, Prego, Swanson or any of your other products. You should read the incitements to murder in the Koran if you have any doubts about the religion of "peace".

"Though I have enjoyed your products for years, I must immediately cease being a customer of anything related to Campbells.
Your Hilal-Approved products, complete with the ISNA stamp of approval, is too much for me and millions of others who are combating the violent, misogynistic, brutal tyranny that is Islam."
Sincerely,
A former customer.

The implications of Halal are not just in the process, but who is hired to work in these places. Simply put, nonMuslims are not allowed to touch food (or even a drop of sweat allowed to taint it)that is being prepared as halal. Even after it has been prepared and prayed over by the imam, if the food comes in contact with a nonMuslim it is considered tainted. Consequently, this is active discrimination against nonmuslims. In order for butchers, food prepares to work, not only must they satisfy the conditions of food preparations, but to have job security they will be told to convert to islam. This is not right. A campaign should be organized with churches, politicians etc. etc. who all must be willing to make note of this. This is utter discrimination, and it must not stand!
Posted by: We need a public campaign | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 07:56 PM
A website or page should be available to list all companies that have submitted to Halal and to begin an active campaign against this. It is discrimination of nonmuslims, since they will not be allowed to work in such places that produce such food without converting to islam.
We are becoming like the Saudis where for people in order to have job security there they must become muslim.
Posted by: steiner | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 08:01 PM
Picked this story up at Jihad watch. Man, am I pissed! I will never buy anything "blessed to the moon god" EVER!!! I fired off an email to Campbells as well.
As a small act of defiance, I always throw a pack of bacon into the "Halal Section" at the grocery store. I'm not the only one, as I often see hams or tenderloins in there. Childish...yes....but..Everyone should do this!!!! Hopefully the site of a nice pack of Schneiders maple bacon will deter the muslims from buying anything and the food will spoil, thus hurting profits at the store and at the national level.
Posted by: holycrusader | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 08:56 PM
I'm going to comment on this from a slightly different perspective.
This is still America and a business can do whatever it wants as long as it's legal.
I'm an American consumer, a free person with free will and Rights. Therefore, I can do whatever I want as long as it's legal as well.
For instance, my choosing to no longer purchase or consume ANY products offered by The Campbell's Soup Company AND exercising my right to freedom of speech by informing as many people as possible of the reason why.
Campbell's may know their markets, but they don't understand the power of evil and with who they just hopped into bed.
I have informed the investor relations and marketing departments at Campbell's that I am - at the opening bell of the NASDAQ tomorrow - selling my one fund that has investments in their company.
I have also informed the investor relations and marketing departments at Campbell's that all Campbell's products have been discarded from my home and I will no longer purchase anything they produce.
If you are unaware of the company's products....... The Campbell's Soup Company brands in The US and Canada.......... Campbell's (soups - including 'Chunky' and others)........Pace (salsa)....... Pepperidge Farm (baked goods and snacks)......... Prego (spaghetti sauces)....... Swanson (stocks, broth and seasonings)........ V-8 (juices).
......and just in case you know folks overseas......
Asia........ Arnott's (baked goods).
Europe........ Bia (soups)........... Devos Lemmens (sauces)............ Erasco (soups)........ LaCroix (soups and sauces)......... Liebig (soups)....... Royco (soups).......... Touch Of Taste (boullions).
Here's the important part...... If they're doing it in Canada, damn skippy they're gonna do it in Europe (if they haven't done so already)...... and it's coming here to America..... You know it, I know it and they know it.
We're at war and an American icon company has submitted to the enemy of life itself.
----------
By the way.... Whoever put up the Halal process - infidels no-touchy - thank you...... That's pretty spot on and needs to be up front in the discussion as well.
I'll add to that with two things....
1. What's to stop the peace lovers in the employ of a mixed company (halal and haram goods) from 'doing something' to the infidel's food ?
2. I've a feeling the push to get all 'mixed' companies (halal and haram)to stop producing Kosher products as well as those containing any pork will be seen almost immediately.

Terrible idea! All stores have cameras now. The police will arrest you for committing a crime - perhaps more than one crime if they tack on a "hate crime" designation.
Perhaps just turn the product with the label facing the inside of the shelf as a form of visible but non-destructive protest.
Posted by: Egghead | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 09:19 PM
Kenny,
With Halal, you simply cannot have a mixed food area..since the probability of tainting form nonislamic people and nonIslamic food is too great(breath of an infidel is enough to taint halal food).
Consequently a lot of these businesses are realizing that to compete in foreign markets (to sell to 1.5 billion muslims) it is best if they become halal. The infidels will have to live with that and on top of that have to convert in order to be able to work in these places....This is truly discrimination.
Hence, all these other jobs that are related to food will follow these big companies that have decided to islamize. People in the western world are actively being forced to convert in order to keep their jobs secure.
Posted by: steiner | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 09:44 PM
Not only the jobs related to food preparation, but to teaching, to writing....all for a small minority of at most 2-4%
If the muslims want halal...it's is ok to have go to a butcher, but why force a whole industry? and in turn force conversion of those that work there in order to get job security. It may not be obvious now because this is just beginning...but with all things Muslim, the noose gets tighter and tighter.
Posted by: steiner | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 09:49 PM

There may well be 1.5 billion muslims in the world but most of them live in abject poverty and do not have access to Campbell's products.
There ARE 5.2 billion NON-muslims though(6.7 billion total world population in 2008)and at least 3 billion live in the West!
So let's show these dhimmi scum companies WE are not submitting!
Posted by: juniper | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 10:03 PM
Reduce dependence on packaged/prepared foods. Buy fresh produce and meat to cook at home. Buy kosher certified meat only. It's more expensive but no way is it halal. Take a cooking class if necessary. You will save money, be healthier and find a creative outlet that gets you off the couch and away from Facebook. I used hardly anything packaged in the US and now that I'm in Israel, virtually none.
Posted by: mk750 | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 10:07 PM
Eat Kosher products only (like canned soups, sauces, etc.) and you won't find that stinkin' ISNA label on any Halal stinkin' food. If you really want to be clever (without lugging a can opener) get "pig" stickers (stickers like children use) and stick a few friendly Porky Pig faces on Halal products in your store.
By the way, Kenny, RIGHT ON - NEVER AGAIN!

My comments, e-mailed to Campbell's:
Campbell's soup is almost as American as apple pie. I say "almost" because any company that acquieses to the demands of those who wish to impose Shariah law on the citizenry of this country, such as those companies who become "halal" certified, are not American anymore. They have become blindly submissive to the dictates of The Muslim Brotherhood and other radical groups. Why Islamize a great soup? I always liked Campbell's. I am sorry to say I will refrain from purchasing any Campbell's product from now on, though I had enjoyed Campbell's most of my life. I will not buy Campbell's as long as it is "halal" certified.
Posted by: Rose | Tuesday, October 05, 2010 at 10:52 PM
No it isn't. Halal slaughter requires the animal be conscious and sensable at the time its throat is cut and during the time it takes for the blood to drain. But then, Kosher slaughter isn't any more humane. As ugly as it is, the standards used by non-religious slauterhouses rerquires the animal be stunned senseless before killing. It doesn't always work, but there is an attempt to be humane.

Posted by: DeeDee | Wednesday, October 06, 2010 at 12:01 AM
and even if the animal is not stunned, a bullet through the brain (the normal way in most western practices, usually these days a metal spine shot into the head at high speed and then withdrawn) is much quicker than cutting the throat and letting the animal bleed to death over up to 15 minutes (depending on size and accuracy of the cut).

On each page of a pad of post-it notes, write "Halal processing includes prayers to allah" or whatever it is you'd like to consumers to know. Carry the notepad with you when you grocery shop. Stick some of the pages on some of the cans of Campbell's soups. Avoid the cans at the very front unless you're there at peak time because the store employees will remove the notes they see while cleaning the aisles or restocking the cans. (They should find them while stocking if they rotate the products as they should, but I have yet to see a stocker in any grocery store do that.)

I am wondering if our local Naval Commissary will be stocking these brands of their soup? What excuse will the Navy give if they do? We are required to supply food and comfort to the enemy? Then will I not shop there anymore. How about the local Save Mart are they going to stock these brands? And who will protest when this happens to either one of these stores?
The Navy Exchange already stocks tools made by china, so far not problem in them being sold. Star War toys are now made in china, still being bought by many people.
Why oh why do we deal with trading with countries that are our mortal enemies? and voting is NOT going to change this problem.
Posted by: Heltau | Wednesday, October 06, 2010 at 04:17 AM
You may be right but for Jews a bullet, is "tearing" which is the actual prohibition. When a throat is slit properly, the jugular is severed first and the head bleeds out almost immediately, certainly fast enough to render the animal unconscious immediately. A cow skull is thick and there's not assurance a bullet will penetrate sufficiently but if it is a large enough caliber to penetrate that bone case, it does too much damage to otherwise edible parts. I know Americans don't eat brains anad there's even a revulsion for eating tongue but in other countries, all parts are used. Even without trying to keep the head parts for consumption, once any part of the animal is "torn" it is no longer kosher.

They are still trying to charge me when they would not come out and fix their cable box to the building I was living in. Now finding out about the muslim connection it bigins to make sense, screw the infidal (lol). As for Campbells, this really rocks my world. I have great memories of grandma fixing a bowl of chicken noodle soup when I was little for me when I was sick. My mother always had soup on hand for those cold winter days after school.
I am not overly religous. I have my problems with organized religion buut still have my faith. I did a year in the middle east and have seen no bigger hypocrits then those who wear table italian table clothes on their heads.

What is wrong with labeling a can of soup "Halal". You people are paronoid. Nothing is gained by
paranoia. Embrace your fellow man and if you feel you know more then tell him peacefully.
These attacks on Islam (and I am not Islamic)are born out of ignorance. Maybe you do not have peaceful Islamic friends because you never bothered to welcome them into your house.
Jesus Christ ( and I am not a Christian) welcomed all peoples. Is not the culture of teh U.S.A. to be welcoming and didn't the people non this blog in the U.S.A. take the country from the North American Indians ? 9/11 was created by a small mob of extremists who do not represent the Islamic world as a whole at all. To an outside eye in another country ( Australia)the Cambells Soup post is xenophobic and paranoid.

I like this idea. Just jarred some grape jam this summer from the vine in my yard. It's a place to start anyway. Make soup at home, jar some for another day. Good idea. Lots of work, but good and healthy. For those of us who are stocking up on food "just in case" since I have a large family by todays standards, just avoid Campbells and buy the store brand instead. It's not that much different anyhow. I really am not a consumer of canned soup anyway, just for the "just in case shelves" but starting today, NO MORE CAMPBELL SOUP! NO SOUP FOR ME! I'll stick with my store brands and I also want to add that I appreciate the post with the rest of the brands Campbell makes. I'll stay away from those too~

As I said on the BNI board - they're appearing on the label, so? Since when is there an inhumane way of killing plants? (All 15 products have no animal products whatsoever and likely carry the COR symbol too.)
For those not knowing what COR is, that's the Kashruth Council of Toronto, equivalent to America's Orthodox Union.
If it were a meat product carrying the label, I would have a problem then.

Well, they're from the Canadian subsidiary and not the parent company in the Delaware Valley. Therefore, thanks to Buy America, they can't.
They're probably stocked in Loblaw's and related chains---all in Canada. The only American stores you'll see them in are import shops or halal shops importing from Canada.

Unfortunately, Madeleine, that "store brand" soup may well be made by Campbells for the store chain. Make a big pot of your favorite and freeze it in zip lock bags. The problem with having an emergency supply is that if there's no power, frozen stuff will not last. There is a brand of MRE type meals called LaBriute. They are somewhat expensive but can be purchased on line. They have both meat and "parve" neither meat nor dairy. You might want to look into getting a crate of those. I think it's www.labriute.com but if not, you can google it.

There are other companies, like Empire. Since I'm in Israel I don't know who's filled the gap but go to www.OU.org and they can probably give you a list. And do you really think Agriprocessors were the only ones using illegals? I'm not excusing it in the least but why didn't the Feds go after the others too?

As far as i know Campbells is not Kosher

Add Godiva Chocolate to the list above....NO WAIT, they started catering to Muslims already in 2007, maybe...Godiva sold to the Turks in '07.
Competitors:
General Mills
Heinz
Kraft Foods
Unilever
Sara Lee
Kellog's
Not to be overlooked would be the companies that have been acquired by Vlasic and Pepperidge Farm, the restaurants they have acquired etc etc etc - the boycott list grows.
This is what a Muslim says about eating non-halal (devil's food)soups (including Koran verses etc):
http://www.shariahprogram.ca/articles/eat-halal-meat-islamic.shtml
The 69%+ market share obviously have not been obtained from catering to Muslims in the past, as they clearly would not have purchased the non-halal soups.... I'm just saying... the millions of people that buy their soups (and other products) are non-muslims. The company generates about 64 percent of its sales in the United States, 15 percent in Europe, 13 percent in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, and 8 percent in other countries.
When you look at the list of the 13 "Halal-certified" soups, none of them actually contain any meat. They are all vegetable soups... so we are not talking about the slaughter of animals. HOWever, how these soups cannot contain "mashbooh" ingredients, I do not know... a soup usually would contain some sort of flavoring, fat, oil, starch etc. I guess they have gotten around that somehow in their certification process. My problem is the LABEL and the CERTIFICATION and what that represents to me as a NON-Muslim.
I will exercise my right and freedom of expression and choice: My money will no longer go towards the purchase of Campbell soups, the preferred brand in our household. Had I owned stock, it would be sold today. An email will be sent to the corporation.

Watch - There isn't much "halal" about this movie, is there???? If this isn't torture and animal cruelty, I don't know what is!

Well, as a Sephardic Orthodox Jew, not only does my food have to be "kosher" raw, it must be cooked only by a Jew and that does not mean a Jew can turn on the stove and walk away as is acceptable with Ashkenazim. A non-Jewish friend can't even make a cup of coffee in my kitchen. So being "kosher" certified may not be enough with a prepared food because I dont' know who actually did the cooking. FWIW, Mario Batalli, the Iron Chef said recently that the best food isn't in any restaurant, it's in people's homes. Learn to cook! It can be fun and teach the kids to help. I took over the cooking chores for my mother and myself when I was 14 and that was 50 years ago. I still look for new and exciting things to make.

What better way to do some jihad once they're installed working food production. Sprinkle in some cyanide and away we go (into graves).
There's already been cases of muslim doctors and nurses withholding treatment from kuffars and sabotaging jews. WAAAY too tempting.

DUH! They can't be, since their lines process pork products.
Then again, if their lines in Canada process pork and beans, they can't possibly be halal and Muslims are being duped...mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm!
Posted by: A. E. Moreira | Wednesday, October 06, 2010 at 01:21 PM
Ah, but unless they are using an entirely clean plant just for this or are importing non-halal products from the USA, can you say: contaminated with pork?
Posted by: A. E. Moreira | Wednesday, October 06, 2010 at 01:30 PM
Don't forget to mention the Kosher certifiers, whose stamp is already on Campbell's soup -- OU. The OU has ties to the terrorist JDL, if one uses the same methodological inquiry as this article.

Dear Pamela,
You are a moron. 'Warhol is spinning in his grave' really? You know nothing about a dead man's perspective and regarding Warhol's eccentric persona you could never state that he would have definitely aligned himself with your hate group. Also there would be no reason for him to be 'spinning in his grave' as he had no personal connection to Campbell's Soup. The soup can series were a reflection of the post-war era of consumerism and mass production as well as being an ironic take on American life and possibly the American dream.
Fuck you very much

Progresso makes better soup anyway. I cook with the condensed mushroom soup (green bean casserole and pork chops) but I suppose the store-brand of condensed soups is fairly equivalent. I sure am going to miss Chunky Sirloin Burger soup though, I never have been able to figure out how they make the grill marks on those little burgers (perhaps they employ a gnome to work the grill). I hope the store brand has an equivalent to the burger soup.

Warhol's art reflected Americana. We reject the coopting of our symbols of freedom by those bent on perversion tyranny and genocide. It may just be a can of soup, but something more significant has happened...
WE DO NOT TRUST THOSE WHO CATER TO EVIL
thus we will not buy Campbells, Disney, Comcast and the rest.

I just recently called the 800 number provided to register my support of a boycott against Campbell products for their products being halal labeled. Well, I got a woman who not only wanted to inform me that I was not only wrong about this new label, but I didn't know what I was talking about in regards to Islam supporting terrorists, or Hamas and The Muslim Brotherhood even being terrorists. Why was I wrong? Because she not only studied Islam but went to an Islamic University! She proceeded to abruptly hang up on me. Whew, great customer service.

This is absolutely crazy...they've got their dirty fingers in alot of American pie...the film industry, the education system, etc., etc., now the food industry? Campbells was never that good anyway and always overpriced, so it won't be hard to boycott! Definitely!
Posted by: Elle | Wednesday, October 06, 2010 at 02:12 PM
Balanced: You are a concern troll meant to confuse the issue which is that halal food directly causes 1) vicious inhumane slaughter of animals, and 2) job discrimination against non-Muslims who are too unclean to prepare halal food.
How far would non-Muslims get if non-Muslims claimed that Muslims were too unclean to prepare non-Muslim food? We'd be hauled into court for discrimination forthwith.
Also, our posts here are peaceful communications by non-Muslims. No one here crashed planes into skyscrapers causing 3,000+ deaths in ONE DAY. And, no one here celebrated the deaths.
You go to Mecca with a cross around your neck and a Bible in your hand and see if you make it back in one piece....
The Saudi supremacists spreading Islam are the true xenophobic and paranoid people: xenophobic of non-Muslims and paranoid of the TRUTH.
ISLAM = EVIL
MOHAMMED = WORLD HISTORY'S MOST EVIL HUMAN & ADMITTED PEDOPHILE RAPIST

do they still make pork and beans ?
Posted by: prestigio mingioni | Wednesday, October 06, 2010 at 04:28 PM
Wow. I was going to say that if you call Campbell's customer service line, be polite and respectful because the person answering the phone isn't likely to be able to do anything about the policy, just pass the message along. My job involves talking on the phone all day to people who sometimes want to take my head off for something that I have no control over and who obviously never heard the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger." But the person you spoke to is obviously doing a little "outreach" of her own. Maybe call back and ask to speak to a supervisor?

I contacted them http://www.campbellsoupcompany.com/Feedback.aspx with THIS:
You pieces of excrement! "HALAL" as you must damn-well KNOW, means the animals have to be slaughtered in order to inflict MAXIMUM PAIN on them!
For the Prophit Muhammad said (and I quote): "Let them bleed out slowly, inflict the most pain, to show them that this world was not a dream!"
THIS BLATANTLY CONTRAVENES ALL OF OUR ANTI ANIMAL-CRUELTY LAWS!
"HALAL" SLAUGHTERING IS THE CRIMINAL PRACTICE OF A CRIMINAL CULT!
HOW DARE YOU INFLICT SUCH CRUEL, UNUSUAL AND ILLEGAL, MISERY ON HELPLESS, INNOCENT ANIMALS JUST TO INCREASE YOUR PROFITS IN SELLING TO THE EVIL SATANIC CULTIST DEMOGRAPHIC?!
