Chatime franchisor says Loob could have jeopardised halal certification

KUALA LUMPUR: Chatime franchisor La Kaffa International Co Ltd has revealed that it cannot guarantee that the products sold by ex-master franchisee for Malaysia, Loob Holding Sdn Bhd, is halal for the past one year.
La Kaffa vice president of international sales team Hank Wang said the raw materials have been changed a year ago by Loob after it stopped ordering ingredients from La Kaffa.
"We don't know (whether the products are halal) because we did not receive any notice. We don't know about the unapproved materials. We pay much attention on it (halal certification) because the majority of Malaysian consumers are Muslims,"
Wang told reporters after a press conference here this morning.
He said all the products supplied by La Kaffa to Malaysia is certified halal by the Taiwan halal authority.
