The program aimed to refute and analyze prominent issues occupying public opinion, notably concerns that the decision could led to the import of dairy products violating Islamic law.
“Speak to what?” says journalist writer Hamat Salama at the forefront of her program,”Speaking to what? His saying is not running and hearing Herry Social Media.”
She added: “The issue started when the Prime Minister announced the exemption of all American dairy products from the condition of obtaining a halal certificate when importing, what is the certificate of halal in the frist place? The West.”
She continued: “If we will talk about the reason, then this decision is in the context of commercial agreements between Egypt and America, the main goal of it is to facilitate the import of dairy products such as cheese, butter and milk dried from America, so their price is very decreased in the Egyptian market, why? You import very large quantities of American dairy annually, of course, to meet the needs of the local market.”
She continued: “The question of the question is now … Is it concerned that the Prime Minister abolishes the permissible certificate of the imported American dairy? The consumer is that the product does not have any forbidden materials, and it will be more in imported meat.”

Her speech spoke: “Here we will stand because in a big difference between imported meat and imported dairy, in dairy the fears are very less, because dairy products in the first place do not need to be slaughtered by meat costumes, the only fear was the use of pork derivatives or alcohol added to the dairy, which proved that America does not use them from the basis in the dairy industry, and therefore fear is an eye Call.”
Hamat Salama pointed to an vital information that denies all the rumors and the confusion raised about the suspicion of the lack of conformity of dairy products imported to Islamic law, by saying: “let me tell you a very important need that bleeds all this rumor from the basis, which is that the dairy is originally extracted from livestock and it is still alive, I mean before the animals were slaughtered at all, whether it remained the slaughter of this Islamic law or loyalty, and all this encouraged the government Her decision after it was confirmed that there is no suspicion of depriving it in the matter.”
And she concluded her speech: “Ok, now, talk about what? … What tells you in the milk of halal and in milk is not permissible … and the people are running behind the social media without what you are fulfilled from any need, saying that it does not run and hear from the social media, a role in the truth calmly and you know it and what makes any extent play in your brain.”
“Here we will stand because in a big difference between imported meat and imported dairy…therefore fear is an eye Call.”
Understanding Halal Certification and Dairy Imports
The recent decision by the Egyptian government to waive halal certification requirements for American dairy imports has sparked debate and raised questions about the safety and religious compliance of these products. Hamat Salama’s program,”Al-Kalam on Eh?”,sought to address these concerns and provide clarity on the issue.
Salama’s Analysis: Dairy vs. Meat
Hamat Salama highlighted a key distinction between imported meat and dairy products.She explained that concerns about halal compliance are more pronounced with meat due to the requirement of specific slaughtering practices. In contrast,dairy products are primarily scrutinized for the inclusion of prohibited ingredients like pork derivatives or alcohol.
salama emphasized that American dairy production generally does not involve these prohibited substances, thus alleviating some concerns about the recent policy change. She further clarified that milk is extracted from livestock while they are still alive, precluding any issues related to slaughtering practices.
Salama cautioned against relying solely on social media for information, urging viewers to seek accurate and verified facts. She argued that much of the confusion surrounding the halal certificate cancellation stemmed from misinformation and a lack of understanding about dairy production processes.
By providing context on the commercial agreements between Egypt and the United States, Salama aimed to reassure the public that the decision was made to facilitate trade and ensure affordable dairy products for the local market, without compromising religious principles.
