Buddhist 'Non-Halal' Food

Pure Creamery Butter-Golden Churn sold in Malaysia is considered a non-halal food. That means Muslim are not to consume the food. The Sarawak Islamic Religious Department had found pig DNA among its content. Not too long ago, the local Star paper had made an apology for having caused offence , distress even, to its Muslim readers. The Home Ministry had called up the Group Chief Editor for running buka puasa articles together with stories on non-halal restaurants. The paper had been described to be rather insensitive for under Ramadan delights, the paper had promoted non-halal restaurants and had even included pictures of them. Ramadan, by the way, is the Islamic month of fasting. Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual intimacy with their partners during the day on this month and learn about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Talking about food, there ought to be food that are non-halal to Buddhists,too. Some Buddhists, for example, do not take beef. That could stand for non-halal, don't you think?

Is any food here that is not permissible to Buddhists?
