The argument provided by awaisaftab would hav been very "plausible", if provided <b>8 years ago</b>. No one can deny the incident which happened at Ajninomoto Indonesia, but it happened at the end of the year 2000 and early 2001. MSG is still prodcued in Indonesia (which is by the way the largest Islamic country in the world in terms of population) by Ajinimoto today. So, does it have any relevance today?
Do u know what MSG is? MSG is Monosodium glutamate....well this is the chemical name...it is popularly known here as <b>Chinese Salt</b>. Almost ALL the Chinese Salt available in Pakistan is imported from the subsidiaries of Ajinomoto Inc. in China and Indonesia. Do u know that Chinese salt is used in almost every single instant food masala mix produced by very popular Masala companies in pakistan? it is also used in preparing food at every Chinese restaurant in Pakistan....and i m talking about the same MSG produced by Ajinomoto Indonesia today (NOT 8 years ago!). i hav personally confirmed the above information from an importer of MSG from Ajiniomoto in Pakistan.
So brother awaisaftab, if u still want to run this propaganda based on the fact that Ajinomto Indonesia was involved in an incident 8 years ago, then i would urge u not to single out Lays chips...but also call <b>all</b> the Chinese restaurants as well as <b>all</b> the masala companies in Pakistan as HARAM. Are u prepared to run that campaign against them with the same enthusiasm?
P.S Lays chips import Sodium Guanylate and Sodium Inosinate, not from Indonesia, but from Thailand.
The Halal certificate, issued by The Central Islamic Committee of Thailand for the import (which is required in Pakistan) is available on Page 3 of the following link
