Byk kali da dpt msg camtu n aku tak caye pon. Perasaan bengang mendorongku utk bertanye sendiri kpd org yg berkenaan, so i wrote an emel to halalenquiry@starbucks.com.my. Emelku berbalas (today) n i really2 like to share n clarify to dat hamba Allah and sape2 je yg masih ragu2 n soOo ‘fanatic’.
Emel nye ‘tertulis’ begini:
Hi,
Greetings from Starbucks Coffee!
Thank you for highlighting your concerns without prejudice to us and giving us the opportunity to clarify matters.
At Starbucks, we have taken many steps to provide our customers anywhere and everywhere the satisfaction of every single cup.
As highlighted in your correspondence, please be rest assured that all beverages and food offered at Starbucks Coffee stores in Malaysia are safe and appropriate for Muslim consumption as we are certified Halal by JAKIM. You are most welcomed to go to JAKIM’s official website (www.halaljakim.gov.my) to look for our listing or you may use the following hyperlink –http://www.halaljakim.gov.my/directory/index.php?lang=&PHPSESSID=d6cfc763e2b6ddd2d1e159af981e55d7
In answer to the email which you have received that has been circulating indiscriminately, the Universal Beverage Base used for Starbucks Frappuccino® Blended Cream (vanilla, chocolate, caramel and green tea) is safe for Muslim consumption as it contains mono-and diglycerides (E471) derived from soybean oils. The cherries mentioned in your email are not a product that we offer in Starbucks as our Raspberry Frappuccino® Blended Tea is derived from juices that are extracted from various berries mixed with brewed tea and our tiramisu cakes do not contain any alcohol.
Attached herewith is also an article published in Kosmo (dated 7 April 2008 & 8April 2008) that you may find helpful. We hope the above explanation together with the media article have helped relinquish any doubts that you may have towards our products previously.
Once again, thank you for writing to us and we welcome any comments for us to further enhance your Starbucks Experience at our stores.
We look forward to serving you your favorite cup of coffee for many years to come.
Have a “Grande” Day!

Kalo korang perasan, kat entrance starbucks pon dah ade logo JAKIM. Igt snang2 ke bleh dpt. Byk prosedur n syarat2. Mane bleh ltak seskati. So, y still tak pcaye? Y so ‘dengki’ ngan starbucks n coffee2 yg ’sewaktu dgnnye’? Really2 tak paham la. Ade pulak yg kate, starbucks not halal bcoz die sapot/sokong Israel. Ape2 je la..aku tak berniat cenggitu lgpon. Just nak menikmati my feveret beverage je. Tade pon smpai nak sokong2 ni. Pape tah yg sme org piker. Aku pon tak paham.
