Golden Churn canned butter is now available at the halal section of all Malaysian food retail outlets following a verification inspection on the Ballantyne Foods Pty Ltd New Zealand factory.

The inspection confirmed that the Golden Churn canned butter had complied with the Malaysian Halal standard as per the halal certificate issued by the New Zealand Islamic Processed Food Management, a certified body by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim).

“Ballantyne Foods Pty Ltd wishes to thank Jakim, Johor Islamic Religious Affairs Department and Sarawak Islamic Religious Department for the verification exercise,” the company said in a statement today.

It said its brand, Golden Churn, had a proud heritage of providing quality butter to Malaysian consumers spanning over 100 years, with quality being always a priority from the start to the end of all processes.

The company has always and will always highly respect its social responsibility to its Muslim consumers worldwide and, as such, the halal certification for its Golden Churn canned butter is a non-negotiable priority.

Ballantyne is a family-owned company, which for more than half a century has been serving a global market for fine foods from one of the world’s richest food-producing nations, producing a range of packaged butter, dairy blend and margarine products for its diary division.
